I was at a meeting where T-Mobile was given approval for a rooftop 
antenna with the only caveat being that they had to shield the equipment 
(not the tower) from view from the nearby neighborhood. They refused.

The early carriers (who eventually morphed into Verizon and AT&T) have 
the advantage of having been able to install lots of towers before 
neighborhoods realized what was happening, in addition to the advantage 
of being on 800 MHz not 1900 MHz.

AT&T's problems in the San Francisco Bay Area are partially due to the 
fact that the network they purchased from Cellular One was not as 
developed as the network that GTE Mobilnet had deployed in the early 
years. Verizon is reaping the benefits now, and the same situation 
occurred in other areas as well. It was a one time advantage that GTE 
exploited fully. Maybe they had management that realized what was going 
to eventually happen in terms of restrictions on towers.
