Usually the construction of new a new cell tower meets opposition from surrounding communities… At least, that has been the case in my area, and in other parts of Canada. However, the good folks of Cranbrook B.C. are welcoming the build of a new $1,000,000 TELUS (NYSE: TU) cell tower. I’m hoping this is a sign of the times!
The new tower will provide residents in the area with access to TELUS’ new 3G+ network… something most folks in Cranbrook have wanted and will no doubt enjoy.
TELUS service manager Frank Mungiello commented on the situation:
“Finishing this project is very rewarding not only because of the tough construction challenges related to the geography, but because of the community support shown to us for bringing new wireless coverage to the region.”
Congrats Cranbrook residents. Enjoy your new tower and improved network performance.
Note to TELUS: If you want to throw up a tower in my back yard, yeah… that’s cool with me.
