The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") recently issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order ("Order") that strikes down an attempt by the Massachusetts Port Authority ("Massport"), which operates Logan Airport in Boston, to limit a tenant's ability to operate a Wi-Fi antenna to provide free wireless Internet access service to the tenant's customers and employees. The case has important implications for landlord-tenant relations with regard to Wi-Fi and other small antennas referred to as over-the-air reception devices ("OTARDs"), which are regulated by the FCC.
