Long article on Cell phones in Yellowstone and Glacier

I think the major complaint is that of constructing new towers to support the antennas. The new generation of AT&T equipment will provide service through an equipment / antenna system about 18 inches in size. This box does not require a tall tower and can be mounted on existing light poles. They even have fake trees. My complaint about cell phones is that a person can't hear themselves talk and they can not judge how loud they are talking. Land line phones have a built in feed back that allows you to hear your voice as you talk. This is because they are radios and not telephones. Cell phones (radios) either transmit or receive. Instead of speaking as though the person is about 5 feet away, most people talk as though the person is 50 feet away and end up annoying the people who are within hearing. The person on the other end can hear you even when you whisper. Try it next time you call someone.
