Chairman 
Federal Communications Commission

Washington, DC 20554 
Dear Chairman Pai, 
July 24, 2017 
We write to urge you to carefully examine the inMotion Wireless proposal to construct hundreds 
of monopoles in Massachusetts. 
In 2014, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBT A) entered into a contract with 
inMotion Wireless to provide enhanced Wi-Fi to the commuter rail system, a service that will 
benefit riders. Under the contract, inMotion Wireless would construct over 300 monopoles as 
tall as 74 feet. The monopoles would be placed roughly 1.3 miles apart through as many as 60 
communities along the commuter rail system. 
As the Commission conducts its Section 106 review process, you should give due consideration 
to the proposed project's impact on our local communities and cultural and historical sites. The 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts is home to some of the most important historical sites in the 
United States, and it is essential to preserve these sites for future generations. The Commission 
should consider how installing monopoles high above the tree line could impact the historic and 
cultural character of the involved cities and towns. 
While we support enhancing the Wi-Fi service of the commuter rail line, we believe that we 
should also preserve the historical and cultural value of our State and appropriately incorporate 
the interests of the affected communities. 
We appreciate your attention to this important matter. If you would like any additional 
information about our request, please contact Daniel Greene (202-224-2742) in Senator 
Markey's oftice.
