controlled by the utility; and (4) extends to antennas that receive and 
transmit telecommunications and other fixed wireless signals of the 
existing prohibition of restrictions that impair the installation, 
maintenance or use of certain video antennas on property within the

direct or indirect ownership or leasehold interest in the property.
