Could this end up in court. This probably falls under the same legal area as the FCC's crackdown on cell-phone jammers in theaters and fancy restaurants... you're just not allowed to interfere with with wireless communications anywhere, anytime unless the FCC says its ok.

Contracts can often be much more restrictive than the law, but they can't contradict or pre-empt existing laws.

This is great news and puts an end to the debate we have had many times as to whether or not a landlord could bar deployment of a wireless node. Does this mean that a commercial landlord cannot put a lease provision in reserving the right to control deployment of unlicensed wireless equipment? It seems for the most part landlords can stick whatever they want into a lease, especially a commercial lease.

"Airports Hit Brick Wall in Regulating Unlicensed Radio

The FCC says landlords, associations can’t regulate Part 15 use: The FCC’s Office of Engineering and Technology says that the function of regulating and coordinating frequency use is reserved to the FCC itself. It’s a clear refutation of mall owners, airports, and condominium associations to limit use of Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies. (Document as Word, PDF, Text.)"
