Cell-phone towers could look like trees
By Katherine Kalos, Richmond Times-Dispatch

A cell-phone tower doesn't have to be an ugly steel pole with antennas at the top. It can take the form of a tree, a bell tower, a silo, a steeple or just about any other tall structure you can imagine.

Company executives Van Thompson and Mark Faris held a meeting for Brandermill residents last week to show examples of their projects. Questions from the audience at Brandermill Church primarily concerned the possibility of health risks. The American Cancer Society, on its Web site, concludes that cell-phone towers are unlikely to cause cancer or any other health problems, based on published research. (link)

Ah, American ingenuity.

Now what will these people find to complain about?
