Well, yes, of course it's a NIMBY thing.
I admit this was my first reaction, when I saw a tower was to be erected nearby.
But upon noting that a string of towers were to be erected along the US/Canada border, I started to think "WTF?"
NO ONE lives here! This is of course a bit of hyperbole; I do, as well as a few dozen other folks, most of who do not even care what a cell tower (or a cell phone) is.
There's quite a bit of tin-foil hat innuendo posted in this thread- but if someone can explain why a string of $250K (my estimate) towers that sort of go nowhere, can do a better job than a few R/DSLAMS, lemme know.

They're for the searchlights and the motion-activated machine guns.....to protect our borders.
