Please forward. The Worcester Zoning Board is poised to approve the 12th of 12 permanent data base stations/towers for the National Grid 'smart' meter/grid pilot/experiment today. Worcester's (very) questionable, precedent setting interpretation/application for pilot data towers of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 effectively, by design gags residents. TCA'96 was passed specifically for telecommunications providers - NOT for utility industry data networks that residents cannot access. Smart meter/grid Tower Day is today: December 2, 5:30 pm, Zoning Board hearing, Worcester City Hall, 3rd Floor. The cost, security, safety, fire, health, and choice concerns are not a Not-In-My-Backyard issue. The next tower could be 70' from your home: Base Stations/towers WiMax Antennas National Grid/DPUPilot 12* 242* Worcester Deployment** 63 1,269 National Grid Mass. Territory** 940 18,957 Commonwealth Deployment** 2,018 40,695 *Real pilot numbers ** Extrapolated using 'household' U.S. census data As of this morning, no request for postponement has been submitted to the city. Both the Tory Fort Lane/Cooks Pond and 597 Mill Street pilot data towers are on the agenda. The hearing outcome will effect not only all of Worcester but the state of Massachusetts, and beyond. If you are a Worcester resident, please contact/invite your City Councilor, rep and Senators Chandler and Moore. See you later (at 5:29)! Thank you.
