Guernsey will start to look like a pincushion’

A PROPOSAL for a phone mast at St Saviour’s Reservoir has been met with opposition by environmentalists.
Wave Telecom has applied to install a two-panel antenna at Rue des Choffins, St Saviour’s, in the area surrounding the reservoir.
Jamie Hooper of La Societe Guernsesaise, and a local environmentalist said that although the risk to wildlife would be minimal, it would ruin the surroundings.
‘I’m presuming it will be on higher ground, which will be a blot on the landscape,’ he said.
‘I have seen the application list for these masts, which was extensive and it wasn’t possible for me to visit all the sites.
‘I think all islanders will share the same view that it’s disappointing that some level of sharing equipment could not be reached. Guernsey will start to look like a pincushion.
‘Each telephone company needs to ensure adequate coverage. But it’s the little Guernseyman against the big company and the outcome is normally inevitable.’ (from thisisguernsey)

Every1 does complain about having these masts but it does annoy me when i don't have any signal!

look at the health issues....would you let your child have a mobile??

Is it not true that the three companies will not share masts and that is why they need so many , so why can't the OUR make them or are they just a puppet for the big boys .

ermm have a look around i think they all got one by the time they get to school age

its like everything else in the island today money talks.the companies should be made to share masts.

No-one really cares about the health risks though, so it seems. They just "need" a phone to contact and be contacted 24/7.
