A national tower grid?Canada's federal government is embarking on a "National Antenna Tower Review Policy", a good idea, it seems to me, as we see more and more wireless broadband providers take to the air.

Review's objective is to lead the development of new, modern procedures for placing antenna towers, which embrace community involvement and expand the economic and social benefits of wireless broadcast and wireless broadband technologies across Canada." |
