Residents in Maryhill are concerned that a new cellular tower will ruin the cultural vistas of their settlement.

Not sure what to think. People want cellphone service, but they don't want the tower. Can't have it both ways. I think there is also an issue with the suggestion that the towers have a certain range...so place it closer to a large city like Kitchener. Fine, but cell phones aren't smart enough not go onto a tower that is meant for Maryhill, but not only that, you cannot put huge towers in a city as they affect the smaller towers that our scattered everywhere.

As for range, that is under ideal conditions. You get snow or rain or heavy fog, range is reduced.

Good article on cell coverage here:
