$50 per month for existing Verizon customers. $70 for others.
Only available now for Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, and Sacramento markets.
Anyone know when other markets will be added?
Wife has a cousin that gets $1500 a month income for the cell tower on his property.
Today’s homework then will be to calculate the near-field strength of that tranmitter and then that of your cellphone. Compare results vs. FCC MPE (Maximum Pemissible Exposure) levels to which all these devices will be tested.
I used to do this. I still can, but the cellular tower construction industry is A ****ING MESS.
I would do it because there is good money in it, but don’t expect complete satisfaction. If you have a good, experienced lawyer (Who perhaps used to work in the industry) then you’ll get treated right.
But at the cell company end it’s their job to lead you into a tar pit.
I wouldn’t even think about trying it with out a good lawyer
I tried to find out what the coverage area is for the Houston area....and cannot find details, without signing up for email updates.
Anyone know how to find this info out? Is it only in downtown Houston?
TIA.
I would just be happy if they added a cell tower a mile closer to the house.
Nevermind....looks like it’s just a ‘city’ thing, for now....to improve city services, etc.
And now it’s time to apply the same rules to Facebook and Google
SpaceX Starlink satellite internet may fix that.
“Powerful wireless transmitter at your curb. Are we sure that is a-ok for our brains? Especially small children? Not for me, thanks.”
Yet you likely have a powerful wireless transmitter in your pocket/purse and your car and home are probably rife with wireless transmitters.
AT&T AirGig will have mini antennas on top of electricity poles (which bypasses the need to get individual approval for cell towers, they just need to make one deal with the power company)

Due to the very nature of satellite transmission, satellite internet will always suck.
Too much latency. No matter the bandwidth, your result will never exceed about 150kbs and you’ll never be able to use it for voice.
It’s how TCP/IP behaves over very high latency transmission paths.
“Wife has a cousin that gets $1500 a month income for the cell tower on his property.”
The guy I knew was getting $1000/mo. in the mid 90’s so adjusted for today he’s on par with what your wife’s cousin is receiving.
“And now its time to apply the same rules to Facebook and Google”
I would like to see them try to prove their algorithms are fair and neutral in a deterministic fashion.
Thanks. That may work well in some areas, but what will they do where the utilities are underground?
I'm sure the Devil's in the details.
I remember questions like that being asked back in the 1960s.
