Many people don't realise that unless there is base station across the
road, most mobile phone shops owned by the SPs have a picocell within
the shop or maybe a microcell on the outside.

No point in trying to sell a phone if it won't work through lack of
signal!

There is a plan round here to put a O2 site in by the side of the road
next to a school. Seems that there was a cock-up bu the council planners
who either didn't object how they should have done or something like it
and it went past the appropriate number of objection days. Anyway O2 are
coming under fire from the locals re this mast.

Now there are some other sites nearby but there're on private land and
it seems the council, rather highways authority, will let them site it
beside the road for no rental charge. Course if they go to the other
nearby site they will be charged. Seems that all councils do this i.e.
don't charge for roadside sites. Is this a reason why mobile Telcos do
this in preference or do other local highway authorities charge site
rental for them.

If so then the highways authorities are missing out or the Telcos are
having an easy time of it!.....

With more than twice the bandwidth, and shorter reuse distances
for their BTS, than 900 Mhz networks.

Here in BN10 postcode, we have one Cellnet, one Voda,
one T Mobile, two Orange, and three 3, BTS for a town of
22,000 people.

Guess how many calls i can make at peak times on my O2
