Tower of power...

Have you ever wondered what a "cell tower" looks like, or where they are located? Well, we certainly don't recommend trying to figure this out while driving, talking on the phone, listening to your favorite pod cast, surfing the internet, and reprimanding junior in the back seat!

Here in the U.S., "where" mobile phone towers are located is a big deal. We even have a term for where we don't want them, NIMBY. Not In My Back Yard. But, where towers are located, and how carriers play together on those towers, speculatively, makes a big difference.

This just in from one of our fans:

"It just so happens that my company, just this week, decided to change the service carrier for my on-site phone. ( BCC - What do you suppose this cost the carrier in terms of lost revenue ? )

My immediate supervisor, who manages the projects that I oversee, usually needs to communicate with me several times during a business day. When he needs to reach me, his objective, is to convey time sensitive information that I need to have so that the projects that I drive move ahead according to schedule. And as you know, if schedules miss the mark, the company loses revenue.

Unfortunately, my office is smack dab in the middle of a dead spot. Some of us have nick named this area, 'The Cell Phone Bermuda Triangle'. Two munites after leaving my office, I somehow wander into an active zone and start receiving all of my missed calls and messages. Too late. The information opportunaties are now past and valueless.

So did changing carriers make a difference? Absolutely. I am now in 'Cell Hog Heaven'. Before finding your site, we conducted a survey of our own by asking the people around us that were experiencing acceptable service. The name that continually came up and appears to be the hot ticket in this area is" ( Redacted. Sorry, we're an impartial third party ).
