> On January 6 the FCC received a request from CellAntenna Corporation  
> for Special Temporary Authority to conduct a “15 minute research exp 
> eriment” of cell phone “denial” technology on January 8 at the  
> Maryland Correctional Institution in Jessup, Maryland. The supportin 
> g exhibit illuminates a few of the coexistence issues facing such te 
> chnology.

> The supporting exhibit notes that “While the Commission reviews this 
>  Application, CellAntenna will work with the major cellular carriers 
>  in the area of the Jessup facility to identify suitable spectrum fo 
> r use in the demonstration to avoid interference with or disruption  
> to commercial and other operations, including the ability of the car 
> riers’ subscribers in and around the Jessup facility to transmit and 
>  receive calls and messages. CellAntenna will supplement the Applica 
> tion to reflect the extent to which the carriers consent to the STA 
> .”
