I should have anticipated this argument or perhaps made myself clearer. 
Considering the likelihood of convincing ever increasing numbers of clods 
not to take cell phones to the woods on an individual by individual basis 
vs a concerted effort to ban the towers that would make them functional in 
the woods, I suspect that banning the towers would be the more fruitful 
path to take. That was my point.
