Mass. ZBA Deep-sixes Cemetery Cell Tower;
Plans to Offer Multiple Sites as Alternatives
Six
months after controversy broke over the siting of a 100-foot cell phone
tower in cemetery owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston,
the Framingham, Mass., Zoning Board of Appeals has denied Omnipoint
Communications' request, according to the Framingham MetroWest Daily
News. The Framingham city planning office has gone beyond the
graveyard to look for sites to accommodate T-Mobile and other carriers' wireless facilities. MORE |
Strobe Lights On When Chopper Hit Tower;Structure Partially Taken Down By Crews The
Aurora, Ill., tower's lights were working at the time of last month's
medical chopper crash, which killed four people including a
13-month-old infant, National Transportation Safety Board investigator
John Brannen told the AGL Bulletin.
Proof, strangely enough, was provided by images taken from two offsite
video cameras situated at a nearby train station and a hospital that
showed the strobe lights working just before tragedy. MORE |
Tower Stocks to Perform Well in Today's Choppy Economic Environment, Report SaysEven
though tower company stocks have suffered as of late, the future should
be rosier, according to a report by Macquarie Research (USA). The
report recognizes several factors that have driven prices down,
including doubts about Clearwire's WiMAX network, concerns over Sprint
Nextel's financial health, reduced access to credit for future tower
purchases and various currency exposures. MORESBA Knocks Out Strong 3Q as Other Markets SufferWhile
the nation suffered through wild gyrations of Wall Street, the credit
crunch and an overall economic decline, SBA Communications saw a
markedly different third quarter. Site leasing revenue grew at a clip
of 24 percent. Cash flow growth topped 29 percent, while adjusted
EBITDA rose almost 27 percent. MORE`Grim' Prospects for WiMAX May Lower Tower GrowthA report by IMS Research has asserted the mobile WiMAX will struggle to win over operators and remain a niche technology. Intense
competition with LTE technology will lead to a "lack of widespread
adoption that will leave little incentive for mobile device
manufacturers to develop products that support mobile WiMAX
applications," the report said. MORE
