content: It's more complicated than that, often for stupid reasons. Around six years ago Steve Jobs at an event made the comparison that in California it takes six months just to get approved for a new cell tower. In Texas after submitting the paper work three weeks later the tower is up and running. Five years ago at a music festival in California had requested for AT&T to come out and set up some mobile units. An AT&T exec was there later on and pointed to the mobile tower and said in San Francisco were only allowed by the city to use the smaller 2' antennas vs these 6' ones. We get many more connections and bandwidth on these larger antennas. The city just doesn't like the look of the larger ones. Three years ago I was talking to an AT&T tech that I personally know who works in the field. He was excited because here in the Chicago-land area they were finally replacing the T1 bundles that linked the cell towers to AT&T's network. They were upgrading them to Cat5. So each cell tower was going to get a massive boost in bandwidth "through put" and again the amount of simultaneous connections it could support.
