To the editor:
Instead of digging in their heals, it’s time the carriers got with it. “It” being concealment or camouflage of antennas. Most local zoning authorities, like the one I sit on, would reduce the permitting process time if carriers agreed to conceal towers where possible (residential areas where the poles are less that 150 feet).
If the carriers came in with the idea first, they would not only generate good will but revenue. Their site would get up sooner. And the community would not be so antagonistic.
