Abstract: This article seeks to analyze the options for distribution of authority at the regional and local level over the process of deploying mobile telephone antennas in Catalonia, given that these infrastructures have a tremendous impact on town planning, the environment, and public health; and given that such impact can allow the exercise of administrative planning and oversight powers to promote efficient deployment while preventing a digital divide. Although Spain's regulatory framework for telecommunications grants the Spanish government sole authority in this field, it also allows Catalonia's regional government and local bodies to have indirect influence through their regulation of related issues within their purview, such as land use, public health, and the environment. It is therefore through the exercise of these powers that Catalan government agencies can build a model of governance for the deployment of mobile telephone infrastructures that can overcome disputes generated by a social construction of risks from their transmissions, and avoid a digital divide caused by potential gaps in coverage areas.
