https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/08/fcc-beats-cities-in-court-helping-carriers-avoid-2-billion-in-local-5g-fees/

The Federal Communications Commission has defeated dozens of cities in court, with judges ruling that the FCC can preempt local fees and regulations imposed on wireless carriers deploying 5G networks. The ruling is good news for AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile.

The FCC voted to preempt cities and towns in September 2018, saying the move would prevent local governments from charging wireless carriers about $2 billion worth of fees over five years related to deployment of wireless equipment such as small cells. That's less than 1 percent of the estimated $275 billion that the FCC said carriers would have to spend to deploy 5G small cells throughout the United States.

Cities promptly sued the FCC, but a ruling issued [Wednesday] by the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit went mostly in the FCC's favor. It wasn't a complete victory for the FCC, though, as judges overturned a portion of the FCC ruling that limited the kinds of aesthetic requirements cities and towns can impose on carrier deployments.

"The court rightly affirmed the FCC's efforts to ensure that infrastructure deployment critical to 5G... is not impeded by exorbitant fees imposed by state and local governments, undue delays in local permitting, and unreasonable barriers to pole access," FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said, calling the court decision "a massive victory for US leadership in 5G, our nation's economy, and American consumers."

On the losing side were localities including Portland, Oregon; San Francisco; New York City; Los Angeles; Boston; Chicago; Washington, DC; Las Vegas; Philadelphia; Austin, Texas; and others.

    I'm loving your second link: With a bit of clicking, [wikia.org] I wound up here.

    There is also this .org site. [astronism.org]

    MAIN ASTRONIST BELIEFS

            THE EXISTENCE OF INTELLIGENT LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS (SENTIENTISM).
            ALL PEOPLE ACHIEVE COSMOSIS WHEN THEY DIE, BUT ALSO COSMIC UNION IS ACHIEVEABLE DURING YOUR LIFETIME WHICH IS KNOWN AS ASTROSIS.
            EXPLORATION OF THE COSMOS HOLDS THE ANSWERS TO OUR EXISTENTIAL QUESTIONS (INTRACOSMISM).
            IT IS HUMANITY'S DESTINY TO EXPLORE THE COSMOS.
            SPACE SHOULD BECOME CENTRAL TO OUR PERSONAL AND PUBLIC LIFE (COSMOCENTRISM).
            THE UNIVERSE EXISTs OUTSIDE THE COSMOS AND THE DIVINE INTERPENETRATES THEM BOTH (ASTRONIC COSMOLOGY).
            THE WAY TO SALVATION IS KNOWLEDGE OF, FAITH IN AND EXPLORATION OF THE COSMOS (TRANSCENSIONISM).

    Which is a weird thing to base a religion on, but seems harmless, although the founder and leader may have some mental health problems. I hope he's OK

    Scrolling further leads to nothing that changes my view.
