Good idea, yes, it is intentional - Barrie Trower makes that pretty clear, along with other sources. A Cellphone Tower Engineer I know made clear that the towers use massively more energy than they should do if their only function was as a cellphone tower!

If that is so then theoretically a more right-minded enterprising fellow could optimize the tower and set up a cheaper network.

That is my immediate reaction. Of course - I've been hoping to see a return to 'piped' general communications with localized complimentary airwave communication points.

A very pertinent post - thank you @ura-soul.

the point being made is that the power IS being used by the towers, but not to run cellphone technology. barrie trower claims that the contents of the towers is protected by 'the official secrets act'. :/
