For example, there is no WAY i hell that these things are going to be allow in certain sections of the city I live in because of the age of the city and the lack of space for them. ATT is going to have to find some innovative way to deal with this problem, be it underground or on the poles. And the best thing they can do is get the input of the people who live in these places. -- Prove it... Save the Internet Time (NTP) service, use the pool. |

 | Only the ugly ones get attention.
I've seen some great site set-ups. One location in particular they set the RT on side of a guys house (pad him for the land of course) filled in the side of his yard that was sloping down to a ditch, relocated an ugly old crossbox in front of his house to right in front of the RT on the side, then installed fencing all the way around it. Definitely looks way better than before.
I think that's pretty much it though. The ugly sites are going to grab attention while the decent and well groomed ones get overlooked. |

People are always going to voice concern about unsightly stuff in their neighborhood - crossboxes, run down houses, cars on bricks, etc. When things look nice, people just appreciate it. -- Prove it...
