cell towers

The use of cellphones is soaring, but very few people like the towers needed to make them work. Alcatel-Lucent may have a solution. Its small, boxy cellular antenna and base station system is part of a growing trend towards shrinking traditional cellular towers.

Turns out, Apple's trendy iPhone is a little too popular for its cell service provider to handle. AT&T has halted online sales of the smart phone in the New York City area, citing lack of capacity on its cellular network there.
