Objections lead iBurst to drop base station
A sign of things to come?
Will people start to object against Neotel putting up base stations, then in the same breath, complain bitterly about hellskommels' poor service?
Ahhh... the irony...

Seriously, kids wont find a tower interesting enough to spend all day next to it, there are much more fun things to do, like TV.“Parents don’t want their kids to spend all day next to the thing,”
"Thing"
A compromise would be to allow a tower per area, with all service providers sharing it. This will prevent an array of towers in close proximity which might detract from the aesthetics of an area.
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
What are the rules on service providers sharing towers?
If my memory is correct, there is a licensing condition that VC/MTN/CellC may not share towers.
Can anybody confirm/correct?

We often share towers, often because the networks have issues getting own sites, like in this case.Originally Posted by kaspaas
The whole issue of site selection and approval is quite complex. Have a read over in the Vodacom sub-thread. I've posted a lot of detail there on the process one must go through to get a site approved and the typical objections you can get. This can make site selection in a specific area a 3-year process, if not longer.
Area such as Constantia in Cape Town even has different, competing resident groups, one blocking towers going up and the other trying to instigate class-action against the networks for NOT putting towers up.
But it's not just a problem with new towers, existing towers also come into the firing line and it's not uncommon to loose a tower or two with the resultant fiasco for those who's been covered by it. Ask the good people down in Somerset West, for example.
Haha which tower was removed?
I know about seven years ago VC had a bitch of a time trying to put a tower up around my area (Helderberg College/Estate, SWest). They even wanted to put one on our property and pay a rental
Then they tried putting one on the College field (damn neighbors again). After about six years they started sharing the MTN tower

It is interesting that in some parts of the world (India if I recall correctly) people actually want big base stations in their back gardens and your property value actually goes up the closer you are to a base station... to the extent that they are disgusted by the South African camouflaged 'trees'
They've obviously figured out a different set of cultural priorities

We had a proposal on a piece of land from Vodacom or MTN many years ago on my father's property. My mother and father was actually quite keen on the idea, but in the end Vodacom just never pulled through.
Personal taste/distaste rather than cultural values?? Oh yeah I forgot here in good ol' SA we all like generelise.
I think they pay you like 10grand to have a tower in your yard... the dude across the street has one, he has a plot and put the tower on the far end of his property.... right on top of one of his neibours houses ! and far away from his own house....
The neibour tried to stop it but in vain.
