Cell Towers In other countries how they look ?



Since 2002, I have visited United Kingdom & made 5 trips so far to UK & European Countries  till 2009.
Presently I am visiting USA since last 4 months,traveled from east coast to south coast important cities like New Hampshire State,Buffalo state-Niagra falls, Massachusetts -Connecticut, Boston, Newyork, New jersey , Texas State - Dallas city, Houston city etc.
The cell phones are very essential now a days to everyone, many own cell phones more than one.In modern time the use of cell phone is a must , it is an essential tool to keep connected with each other.
In United Kingdom & USA - Cell Towers/Service providers are Independent owner,operator&developer of broadcast & wireless communication sites.
The cell towers are rarely seen installed on roof tops, if at all found on roof  tops, the building is very high rise one. The Cell towers mostly installed  either on land or on top of mountains surrounded with huge  jungles to camouflage cell towers fixing  high mounted  antenna discs on a huge single metal tapered  shaped pipes, in its bottom, the base station room made of PVC at ground level of the tower. A big tapered (16''dia.to 6")octagonal shaped steel pipe mainly is used as main member of the cell tower. In many places cell tower's antennas are not visible .One can not see cell towers in UK like India, the rules & guide lines are very strictly followed by the service providers, no where chance of violations are seen,another  important thing is that the cell towers are not seen in Residential areas & it is not allowed  by the Govt.,but in exceptional cases the cell towers are also seen in commercial/industrial areas for better coverage when density of users are more .The locations of cell tower in UK & European Countries are not seen in short distances, minimum 1 mile radius is maintained between the next tower. Due to strict rules of Govt. no service providers dare to violate the law of the land, the whole communication systems are managed with limited number of towers, by this radiation level does not exceed .
The radiation audit of the cell tower is always submitted to Govt. body by the service providers as per the  License norms.I have rarely seen any cell tower installed in low mounted manner to protect the bad effect of  health hazards of human & animal  from radiation. The single tower is shared by multiple service providers by their different antennas. Due to the strict adherence to rules the health hazard complaints are less. If any complaints are received the local planning, zoning or community development office will intervene the matter &  solve the problems of complainants.
In foreign countries the Technology of Cell Tower is so advanced that the  Electrical  High Tension Transmission  Structural  top posts  are being used by  fixing cell tower's  huge circular Antennas, which is very power full & gives long long distance coverage of cell phone users & in its ground the base Stations are  housed between its 4 legs of  Elec.Tower posts, which is done very intelligently by using the space & saving money by the service providers & keeping cell towers away from human living area.There was a report  published  in 2009 in UK that Scientists have found that Cell tower radiation has no health risk ! There is no solid proof in this regard. But there is strong evidence that EMR from cell phone tower is damaging  to human ( and animal ) health.
In USA  cell towers are mostly fixed in highly mounted  specially made tapered pipe post more than 60 to 80feet high from ground, in some places more than 100ft.towers are seen, & these towers are shared by multiple service providers fixed in different levels & in down town areas cell towers are seen on top of high rise (minim. above 20 storied) Buildg. in office areas. But when you travel or drive on freeway/ high-ways the cell towers normally are seen either on hilly (inside huge jungles) or in plain ground away from freeway. Here in USA/UK  one single tower is being shared by multiple service providers, very rarely seen cell towers near to residential area , near play ground, near Hospitals or School Bldgs.
Now I display a few cell tower pictures of USA , UK & India ,



all above pictures are in USA & UK ,  below one is typical cell tower picture in India
