Person after person got up to the microphone to implore the Santa Monica City Council to block AT&T from building a cell tower on Wilshire Blvd;
see http://www.smmirror.com/volume5/issue31/wilshire_cell_phone.asp for brief background.
Here's a similar battle from Westlake Village, but against Sprint: http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/archive/index.php/t-2428.html
AT&T claim they need the tower to improve service in the area. But person after person said they went with their cellphones to the proposed tower site and got clear, strong signals. And supposedly this tower will only serve a radius of 300 feet.
But what shocked me most was to hear several citizens say the City of Santa Monica has no records for current cell towers that exist within city limits, and denied access to records for applications to proposed future tower builds.
Curious what other people think....should cell towers be allowed in dense urban areas or be relegated elsewhere?
