Considering they already have a cell tower at Old Faithful, and the one that has been approved is a replacement,
Is there no place Americans can go without their electronic leash self-attached?

I liken it more like desperation as the NPS tries to replace funds lost to the budget process as Congress continues to underfund it. The annual payment for the lease of the land for the cell tower is a much-needed chunk of change to the NPS coffers.
Expect to see more cell towers in the future.

Apparently you are yet another one of those people who are special and know for a fact how everyone should use our national parks. If someone has other ideas, they are wrong. You must be one of those people who think the best thing to do is hang a sign on the entrances to our national parks that say "NO ONE ALLOWED IN" and then have in the fine print "except me". Maybe you think Yellowstone should go back to the way it was when it was made a national park in 1872, only way in was by horse. No electricity, no toilets, drink from the streams, no lodging, no phones, no anything. That would sure allow the 3,000,000 plus visitors every year to enjoy one of our national treasures. It is things like cell phones that allow many of the guests to visit our national parks. I know the good ole days sound great, but does anyone really want to go back to living like they did in the 1800s. About the only good thing about it would be you wouldn't have to do it for long, since the average person's lifespan was a little less than 50 years compared to over 80 years today. Take off the rose colored glasses and see things how they really are.
I'm not surprised. The NPS has been on a quest to destroy all the Natl Parks. Golf course in Death Valley after they took over. Death Valley was awesome before it became a Natl Park. Huge hotels and cities within the parks. It is sad. Only time we go to Yellowstone anymore is for a short cut over the mountains to Idaho.
