LA building's lights interfere with cellular network, FCC says
The agency cited the owner of the building for using faulty fluorescents

Fluorescent lights at Ernst & Young Plaza, a 41-story tower near the
heart of downtown, emit frequencies that interfere with the Verizon
Wireless 700MHz network, the agency said in a citation issued on Friday
against building owner Brookfield Office Properties.
The FCC's message comes through loud and clear in the filing: Brookfield
could be fined up to US$16,000 a day if it keeps using the interfering
lights, up to a total of $112,500. The alleged violation could also lead
to "criminal sanctions, including imprisonment," the citation says.
Responding to complaints from Verizon, the FCC approached building
management last April and was told they were already investigating. The
agency said it asked Brookfield to file reports but never got them.
Verizon kept complaining, so the FCC showed up with direction-finding
gear and confirmed the interference was coming from the building's lights.
