Issues Surrounding Installation of a Cell Tower?

But They Look Terrible as Trees asks: "My company has been approached by a developer who wants lease a section of our property to install a cell phone tower. The tower would be somewhere between 50 and 110 meters tall and would be located about 250 meters from our main building. I am curious what types of interference and other issues anyone may have noticed having a cell phone tower in the vicinity of their facility, such as disruption of 802.11, VHF radio, aesthetic issues, complaints from neighbors, or truly bizarre plots. Has anyone built their own tower and then leased space to providers on the tower?"

Use it to your advantage

Make the tower look like a 110 meter penis. That'd be sure to get your company more attention and press coverage than in your wildest dreams!

Have your lawyers write up a separate page of the lease in which the cell-phone company agrees not to use the tower to mind control you, your employees, or your families. Frame it on your office wall next to your college degree. If the company resists signing it offer them a few dollars off.

You can always take it down when you have to deal with a client who has no sense of humor. Buy a picture of a pretty flower to replace it with.
