Sure, but I don't see why this translates into AT&T having the right to put up towers.
I don't either, but apparently the federal government disagrees. The article doesn't cite this "law," however.
If there's poor AT&T service in Harvard Square and customers complain, AT&T can simply direct them to petition the zoning board to allow them to put up towers. That way the issue can be resolved using local politics instead of lawsuits.
More than likely, customers would just jump ship to Verizon instead, which is the last thing AT&T wants.
- djacobs 16y agoGiven the vast number of iPhones I see in Harvard Square every day (probably about 40% of all visible phones), I don't know if Verizon is necessarily the logical end here.
- learner4life 16y agoIt might be if Verizon gets the iPhone by the end of this year or early next year.
- bconway 16y agoMy point is, people don't take kindly to companies trying to pass the buck.
