Now that more people use smartphones to stream videos and surf the web, wireless carriers want to put additional lower-power antennas closer to the ground so that fewer people will connect to each one, resulting in

Local governments are now faced with regulating how and where additional communication infrastructure is installed, while balancing industry needs and city residents’ aesthetic and safety concerns.
