They haven't even started building in Rotorua and they're up in arms, likely the same people that wonder why they can't get coverage on their phone everywhere they go.

I particularly liked this line

"When choosing mobile phone site locations we try to choose and design sites that will have have the least possible impact on the community and the environment," Mr Bouliane said.

If that were true wouldn't the site be useless...
no impact on the community=no users

My question is..What is a school doing in a light industrial area ?
