3. Parties' Contentions

The dispute between the parties centers on four issues:

1. Whether the Commission granted NextG the authority to place antennas and microcells on utility poles and in public rights-of-way in D.03-01-061.

2. Whether NextG misrepresented the authority granted it by the Commission in requesting to place microcells and antennas on utility poles in San Francisco and other localities.

3. Whether NextG timely exercised its authority.

4. Whether the placement of microcells and antennas on utility poles by a telephone corporation such as NextG is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

If we find NextG has violated state law or our orders or rules, CCSF requests that we revoke NextG's CPCN or order NextG to comply with the terms and conditions of its CPCN. NextG states we should deny each of CCSF's claims. We discuss each of the four issues in the following section.
