• Regulatory Context<br />

Federal Regulations<br />

Telecommunications Act <strong>of</strong> 1996<br />

This law was enacted to promote competition and reduce regulation in order to secure<br />

lower prices and higher quality services for telecommunication consumers and encourage<br />

the rapid deployment <strong>of</strong> new telecommunication technologies.<br />

Local Regulations<br />

<strong>Inglewood</strong> Municipal Code<br />

The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Inglewood</strong> Municipal Code, Section 8-1.17 (Community Antenna Television<br />

System), adopts rules and regulations to govern the operations <strong>of</strong> community antenna<br />

television systems in the <strong>City</strong>. Section 12-1.6.5 (Antennas and Telecommunication<br />

Facilities), provides definitions <strong>of</strong> the telecommunication facilities.<br />

Section 5-34 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s Municipal Code (Radios, Television and Stereos, Noise<br />

safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s residents.<br />
