Cellular phone tower approved in Adirondacks

The issue isn't not wanting service, it's not wanting towers. Did you even read the article?

I can't believe cell phone towers are even an issue. Don't wan't cell phone service in the ADK, then don't buy a cell phone! Simple. Its absurd to say that signals pose an environmental threat, how about FM waves then? What about all the rest of the garbage that is littered through the ADK? Train Tracks, High Voltage Power Lines, Roads, Houses, Ski Areas? Not to mention the forest damage caused by loggers and developers! Anti Cell Phone advocates are ignorant, hypocritical and in the minority. First clean up all the other eye sores. Besides once a tower is built, I'm sure in less than 5 years everyone will be glad its there.

The rest of us want to join the modern wold. Cell phone save lives and increase productivity. I run a small ADK business and operate in the back country. Its vital that customers can reach me and vice versa. Our economy in the North Country needs all the help is can get. I also like the security that if anything goes wrong help is just a phone call away.
