Mountains are dangerous. If one wants to eliminate all danger from life avoid mountains. This is a reminder that the entire world is not tamed like the city streets. I rather prefer it that way.

If regulation and other aesthetic concerns weren't in play, I'd say number one is the best option. I for one don't own a cell phone so I don't feel that I should have to pay a single dime for this. OK, here's my solution. Carriers would build towers, but they would be able to charge any users whatever extra fee for their usage. Sort of a Northway roaming charge. Thus those that insist on relying on cell phones for their lives are satisfied and the carriers can make a profit.

The carriers wanted to install powerful towers to cover the entire region, but the APA would only accept smaller towers. That was unprofitable, so they installed nothing instead.

It has nothing to do with what the APA or any such groups want in the area, but more to do with whether it is economically viable for the cell phone providers to put up the towers. There are not enough users up in these parts according to the providers to justify the cost to put up the towers. The APA assured the listeners that they are not standing in the way of anything.
