WALNUT CREEK (KPIX 5) \u2013 Up to 50,000 cell phone towers coming to cities across California.<\/p>\n

But will you get a say on where they pop up?<\/p>\n

California cities are now fighting back at a proposed law that is moving quickly through the legislature.<\/p>\n

They say it would allow phone companies to put up new antennas in your neighborhood, like it or not.<\/p>\n

State Sen. Ben Hueso (D-San Diego) says, \u201c5G wireless has the potential to be a game changer.\u201d<\/p>\n

But to pave the way for that game change, telecom companies need to put up between 30,000 and 50,000<\/strong> of cell antennas \u2014 including in your town \u2014 over the next five years with only limited local say.<\/p>\n

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo said, \u201cNeighborhoods would be seeing something the size of refrigerators going up on street poles and could say nothing to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solano County Supervisor Erin Hannigan said, \u201cCould be on a library, could be on a school.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn traffic signals, light polls,\u201d Liccardo said.\u00a0\u201cThis would give the companies the right to install on any public infrastructure and we would have zero ability to say \u2018no.’\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the new network could also mean much faster Internet service to keep California on the innovation forefront.<\/p>\n

The use of smart devices and mobile Internet has increased 2,300 percent statewide since 2010.<\/p>\n

Steve Carlson with CTIA-Wireless Association said, \u201cCalifornia was the epicenter of the last Internet revolution and can and should be the epicenter of the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Huesso said, \u201cBusiness investment and job creation will follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for local say?<\/p>\n

Huesso said, it \u201cpreserves local government right for reasonable concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is also the issue of money.<\/p>\n

The new rules would cap how much local jurisdictions could charge telecom companies at $250 per antenna, a far cry from the $1,250 that cities like San Jose now get.<\/p>\n

Liccardo said, \u201cYou are talking about an industry that will net $500 billion after full build out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Telecom contributed $2.4 million to California\u2019s Democratic and Republican parties in the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n
