I like looking at the nice little base stations around the city now. 10 years ago, they were huge War of the Worlds monster towers. Now they are aesthetically pleasant extensions on top of lighting poles with a little electronic box at the base where there used to be 6 metre x 6 metre buildings for the electronics. They used to be hideously expensive, with civil engineering, town planning and public hearings with much opposition. Now they are not much more than a street light. Your pole climbing skills are not useful now. A little crane can erect the poles and a child could do up the bolts holding it down. The Zenbu Wi-Fi base stations can be plugged in by almost anyone and total time taken is about 2 minutes from getting the delivery to having it working. Most of that time is to get it out of the package. Mqurice
