Cell Towers In other countries how they look ?

In this Blog, I like to write about the  Look of the  Cell Towers construction structures which differ in its look from country to country. In India majority of  cell tower structures are built on  Roof  only by the private service providers by Leasing, very few Cell towers are built on Land by acquiring Land either by purchase or lease in urban & suburban areas. Only Govt. organisation like BSNL's huge cell towers are found mostly on land which depends mostly on availability.But in Kolkata  BSNL a Govt. Unit has also violated by making Cell Towers without obtaining permissions  from local Govt. bodies for which WBPCB & KMC already have received complaints from public,due to violation o  guide lines.But most private MNC Cos. are  found to make mostly Cell Towers  only on roof with concrete Pedestal column base, making tie beams on columns by extending old columns if available or if where old columns are not found  it is made by  making new frame work of column & beam of huge size of which dead loads were  not calculated in the initial design of the main Building /Apartment/flats, resulting structural stability of the building making the existing structures & foundation of the buildg. at risk, after  concrete pedestals are ready then there comes  installing of 4-legged  special grade aluminium frame work on Pedestal base of 15 mtr. height ( 50 feet). by bolting structures of bottom legs on a iron base plate fixed  in concrete pedestal  by iron bolts. Next comes making of  Room's wall & its Roof by  PVC make, as to work  as base stations room on same roof top, connecting electrical cabling power connections drawing from ground, installing all electronic accessories inside the room, but no where Warning sign board is being displayed/visible with caution board to make alert public -to  remain away from Radiation Zone, another the Aviation Lights not fixed on top of the tower  for night visibility , also fire fighting arrangements are not provided in most near  Cell tower zone which are all  mandetary as per guide lines of the  State Govt. What Corruption is going on in our Country ( India ) in open day light  due to most ignorance of public ??? In one side many Illegal towers are mushrooming, loss of huge Revenue of Govt. & other side these service providers are making their business at the cost of Human health ?
Further it is also seen in many places where whole open roof is available on Lease - there the service providers make the towers on the 4 corners of the roof area by the side of parapets with low ht. of antennas of circular discs & vertical types are  facing near the neighboring buildings.
There is no regular check ups for measuring Radiation audit levels ?
So long I described  about India's Cell tower , now I will  discuss about cell towers structures how they are built in foreign  countries like USA, UK, European countries etc. in my next Blog
