Verizon Tower Still Undecided Before MVC
An 18-month public hearing came to an end last week on a plan by Verizon to increase the height of its Vineyard Haven cell by 50 feet.
Attention, Verizon customers: Would you like to get better cell reception in Chilmark and Aquinnah? If so, Chilmark executive secretary Tim Carroll is urging you to write to Verizon Wireless representatives, asking why the company won't join the newly operational Distributed Antenna System (DAS), which will greatly improve wireless service for certain carriers in the area. AT&T has elected to participate; Verizon has not.
In concert with their colleagues on the mainland, six striking Verizon wireline workers picketed yesterday outside the telephone company office on the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road in Vineyard Haven.
The Edgartown planning board criticized wireless phone companies Tuesday night for claiming space on the North street telephone tower.
