Towers of Trouble


So in a world where: a) most folks are now attached to a cellular phone, or similar, for much of their lives; and b) those same folks expect their cell phone to work inside of a slot canyon in the most remote area of the San Rafael Swell, this article from a recent edition of the The Economist reminded me that such convenience comes with costs that go beyond the bill you pay each month. For local officials, there continues to be a battle over the towers that are required to transmit all the mobile yakking and surfing that is going on.


At our Annual Convention, September 12-14, we'll be hosting a round table discussion on this very topic.
