You wanta bet that it is the people in the area that don't want the cell
towers in their area? We had a problem in a upper coast area of
Riverside, Calif. and at the time it was AirTouch. There was spotty
service at the best. Finally they got so many complaints that they told
the people that unless they could build sites there they would not have
service. They slowed the voices down and a couple of sites were built
to look like trees and a few more were put off the main highways, now
service is a lot better, but still dead spots because of hills.

The only good spammer is a dead one!! Have you hunted one down today?
