Verizon and AT&T quickly rejected a proposal by FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel to use San Jose's approach to small cells as a template for similar deployments in other cities.

Hovering over the issue is a continued push by the nation's wireless network operators to get the FCC to issue guidelines for how cities and states should smooth the rollout of small cells - including how much local regulators can charge carriers for small cell deployments.
