It seems there are a number of dead spots in and around Palm Beach, Florida, playground of the rich and famous. As a result, government officials have sent a letter to the major wireless providers informing them of available antenna sites in order to improve coverage.
One suggestion is to place antennas on some of the high-rise buildings whereby it can cover a fairly large area and provide service to more users. There are some zoning laws in place to prvent antennas from being placed on private properties, but some residents with large parcels of land are negotiating with major service providers, so it wouldn't be surprising to see antennas on private property in the near future.

1. I know if i had a big area of land i would offer a piece of it up so an antenna could be placed there, if the area is not being used then why not try to make a bit of money out of it an you would not have to do anything they will do all the work and you can just watch the $ come in
