If you look carefully you can see THREE mobile phone towers behind the Arunachaleswarar Temple East Gopuram. As any recent visitor to Tiruvannamalai can testify, the town is becoming a veritable hive of unsightly towers.
The problem is compounded by the fact that each Telephone Company requires its own tower – and with the inducements of Tower land rental in town of Rs.20,000/- a month and Rs.10,000/- a month in the country, its not difficult for Telephone Companies to find willing land owners eager to rent their land for the installation of large mobile phone towers.
However, relief is possibly at hand according to an article which recently appeared online about the wireless industry’s development of a smaller antenna, tiny enough to hold in one’s hand.
“As cell phones have spread, so have large cell towers – those unsightly stalks of steel topped by transmitters and other electronics that sprouted across the country over the last decade. Now the wireless industry is planning a future without them, or at least without many more of them. Instead, it's looking at much smaller antennas, some tiny enough to hold in a hand. These could be placed on lampposts, utility poles and buildings – virtually anywhere with electrical and network connections.”
