Time to Get the Verizon Tower Built

By Long Time Landowner

We just had a major fire, and thank God, no one was killed that we've found yet anyway.  Cell service in the valley stinks and it's even WORSE up north.  We need the tower and we need it NOW.  We NEEDED it for the fire, but selfish anti-technology interests are blocking it.

GET OUT OF THE WAY!  BUILD THE TOWER.

    " The cell tower at the Mason lodge will not bring service north of Kernville. It will not improve things in Riverkern at all. Verizon has told us that much.

    During the fire they brought in a temporary cell tower due to all the extra people using the system. Did they place this temporary tower at the Mason lodge site?
    NO! It was somewhere else in town, proving that the tower DOES NOT need to be at the Mason site.

    Get your facts straight, "Landowner." "

    " The post on August 15th is not from me; I do not have an opinion on this issue, it makes no difference to me, but the land owners in Kernville do not want it near their property, ruining their view. EDITOR---who is this person using Truth name? (I do not use such speech as "anti-technology" language!) "

    " Why are we the the people forced to have 2G software in the valley when Mexico and most other countries have 3G and the Verizon tower would be 4G?
    For the same reason we are 37th in health care and the largest per-capita debt nation in industrial world?
    If AT&T refuses to upgrade to 3G in this Valley like they have in Ridgecrest, let Verizon bring us into the real world "
