Cell Phone Towers You Never Knew Were There

More and more companies are going to the “green”.  Thinking of the environment and impact their systems have on the environment and human kind.  Cell phone companies are no different.  For many years they have received complaints from neighborhood residents about the eye sore the towers they use are.  Recent years have seen changes in the way they install and hide these towers.  The attached pictures show some of the new towers and how well they can be hidden from view.  So look around next time you drive around town and you may find that the large tree they planted last week in the middle of the downtown park isn’t a tree at all, but a cell phone tower.
