Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs seeks revenue from Cell Phone Signals

In an unprecedented move by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, the Manitoba tribe is seeking payment for cell phone signals that pass over the Manitoba’s land. This is a complicated matter, to say the least, as it involves Aboriginal, property, and communications law.

The Chiefs claim that since the Manitoba tribe claims sovereignty over its land, water and air space, cell phone signals should also apply. In addition, the Assembly is seeking for frequency blocks to be set aside for use by the First Nations member groups.
