MetroPCS is making waves in Grand Rapids too!

It seems they are interested in bolting antenna on the outside of several prominent church steeples in the Grand Rapids area.

There is a great article in the Grand Rapids Press.  Cick here to read it. 

Among other things, the article points out the fact that MetroPCS is committed to a cheaper antenna technology that requires twice as many antennas as other providers.

I want to re-emphasize the importance of innovation.  If cities didnt require phone companies to install their phone lines in an orderly fashion, cell phones may never have been invented!

Mr. Harger's article also includes a link to a very interesting site:  www.antennasearch.com.  Using the site, he found a total of "570 antennas sending and receiving signals for cell phones, radios and pagers within a 4-mile radius of [Grand Rapids] City Hall."   

I wonder how many antennas there are within a 4 mile radius of the Kalamazoo Country Club?
