Here is Sprint's current map for central Florida, including Orlando. sprintpcs.com While certainly not perfect, it looks like they're well on their way. Agree about NIMBY's, though. The Perkiomen Creek runs through my hometown and is only a few hundred yards from my back door. Twice in the ten years I've lived in this house, flooding has been within fifty feet of my back door. (The creek would have had to rise another 12-15 feet beyond its historical all-time high flood stage to get into my basement, though, so I don't worry all that much.) Being down in the valley like this means that the cellular towers covering nearby Norristown and King of Prussia etc. do not reach here. I had cellular service for more than ten years before I could make a call from my driveway. It turns out that Comcast, Bell Atlantic, and Sprint had been trying for years to build towers to serve us, but were prevented by a small group of people who had relocated here when Rhone-Poulonc and Smith-Kline Clinical Laboratories decided to make this their corporate headquarters. The towers did not cosmetically fit with their idea of historical correctness.
