  They've fought the installation of CEVs (controlled environment vaults) which are used to put in network/telecom gear to extend broadband services. One town decided they didn't like this beige box on a main street so they painted over it with a color that fit better. Turns out, that paint was important for cooling it: within a few days gear overheated and hundreds were out of service.
