Hi Larry, Roy:

BART would not have had an FCC license. They'd have had contracts with
the various phone companies to co-locate equipment and provide wired
backhaul out of the tunnels. The only thing they'd be guilty of is
breach of contract, and that only if the cell phone companies decided
their behavior was inconsistent with the SLA..
