First, we show that in the $(1,0)\oplus(0,1)$ representation space there exist not one but two theories for charged particles. In the Weinberg construct, the boson and its antiboson carry {\it same} relative intrinsic parity, whereas in our construct the relative intrinsic parities of the boson and its antiboson are {\it opposite}. These results originate from the commutativity of the operations of Charge conjugation and Parity in Weinberg's theory, and from the anti-commutativity of the operations of Charge conjugation and Parity in our theory. We thus claim that we have constructed a first non-trivial quantum theory of fields for the Wigner-type particles. Second, the massless limit of both theories seems formally identical and suggests a fundamental modification of Maxwell equations. At its simplest level, the modification to Maxwell equations enters via additional boundary condition(s).
