Just as an afterthought, you said there were trees everywhere and they are a problem for WLL in Asia, where the soil strength is too bad to support WLL poles. How come the dirt is strong enough to support palm trees, which look just like cdmaOne poles [when they are disguised], but not WLL poles? The palm trees, being solid, are actually heavier than a cdmaOne hollow pole. There is another clue for your civil engineers. Palm trees don't use big blocks of concrete for feet, but they don't fall over very often. Peter Hudson has got a degree in trees. I bet he has seen some VERY heavy trees standing up nice and straight all over the place. Some on very soft dirt. Do you have a url for the Economist stuff you are talking about please? TIA! Maurice
