  • Attachment Mts-04
    IN THE MATTER OF the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998, S.O. 1998, C. 15, (Schedule B); AND IN THE MATTER OF an Application by Canadian Distributed Antenna Systems Coalition for certain orders under the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998. AFFIDAVIT OF MICHAEL STARKEY ON BEHALF OF TORONTO HYDRO-ELECTRIC SYSTEM LIMITED (“THESL” or “Toronto Hydro”) ATTACHMENT MTS-04 ATTACHMENT MTS-04 Attachment MTS-04 Listing of Cellular/PCS/AWS Station Sites Within 25 Kms. of the Center of Toronto MTS-04 is intended to identify the physical locations (i.e., station sites) of all antennas licensed for radio-transmission within the cellular/PCS/AWS frequency bands that are within 25 kilometers of the center of Toronto. Attachment MTS-04 was developed as follows. Step 1: The Attachment MTS-03 dataset served as staring point. Because that dataset includes antenna arrays that may be operated by different carriers at the same station site, it was necessary to eliminate multiple records for the same station site. The first step in that process involved concatenating the latitude and longitude fields into a single number and sorting on this new field. A simple @IF formula (i.e., if lat-long field of current record = lat-long field of previous record, flag as a duplicate) was then applied to compare successive records’ concatenated latitude-longitude fields and remove all duplicates (which represent multiple antenna arrays collocated at the same station site), so that only a single unique record remained for each location (latitude/longitude). Step 2: However, we also encountered numerous instances in which the various wireless operators had entered non-identical latitude-longitude and/or street address information on the records they supplied to the ALS database for what were clearly intended to represent the same station locations.
