Yea, cell towers are expensive, and they figure they work "good enough" in most areas. The reception is often poor in many urban areas. I have use my WiFi connection to make my cell phone calls really work.

No one wants more towers in their neighborhoods. We have one not very far from our house that looks more like a very heavy duty flagpole. They had a flag on it for while, but flags are expensive as well. I only know it is a cell tower because I saw the "guts" of it as the built it. It is either non functional, or on a different network than my cell provider.
