Imagine if they built a nicer-looking box around each metal box. Something with wood construction and a little roof, maybe - in any case consistent with the architecture/esthetics of the surrounding houses. It could look like a like a sort of gate-house, like the ones occasionally seen in upscale areas. This could be done for $1500 per box.

Just an idea - maybe this would satisfy complainers enough to lessen an obstacle to better, faster internet.

Always thought they might put ads on the boxes. At least till local ordinances tell them otherwise. A lot of them are on busy streets with plenty of traffic.

This should be the new design.
