So T-Mobile is taking the over some spectrum, but lets talk about the T-Mobile technical plan.
They do not have any land lines so it necessary for their network to be 100% based on towers. That means they need a tower approximately every 2000 feet. In the City of Huntington Beach, CA (approx 200,000 population) they have 17 towers and are submitting permits for 14 more (all in residential neighborhoods). That means next to homes, schools and parks.
With a constant 60 db electronic buzz coming from the tower, fear of health issues, and the ‘middle of the night’ maintenance noises, it is causing residential home values to drop approximately 2% to 20% for the houses surrounding the towers. And T-Mobile does not care and they do not need them. They advertise these towers for lease to other wireless providers.
I would like to encourage all readers to research the number of lawsuits (T-Mobiles answer to rejecting towers for any reason) they have brought and the cases of total disregard for the community that T-Mobile has.
In a less polite context I might use a lot of 4 letter words for this disgusting company but for now I will just say they are despicable.
