Re: Unsurprisingsaid by pnh102:quote: ... third has AT&T paying $1500 per site regardless if landscaping is necessary. Most Illinois cities are apparently picking the third option, says the source.
Of course the government always picks the option that gets it the most "free" money, courtesy of AT&T's subscribers. I guess those ugly looking boxes are not that ugly after all. I'll bet the city takes the money and does no landscaping at all for their residents. |

Bet your right and that's just not right. Those boxes are ugly and I would be mad about having one of those in my front yard. |

Probably use it to convince regulators. "Hey, we'd offer to landscape, but when we do and even paid for the communities to do it themselves they apparently weren't too worried about it!" |

Nor are the majority of the VRADs that I have seen. And all of the VRADs I have seen are adjacent to even uglier "B-Boxes"; which have been in the neighborhoods for years, getting faded with age. |

Is that written into agreements? said by Matt3:Probably use it to convince regulators.
