They re aggressively moving through Ocean County trying to site new cell towers of 120 in public right-of-way and billing as a utility.

They re looking in Berkeley and also in Toms River. Mr. Oris believes they are doing the acquisitions and approvals for Sprint Communications. Each town must engage their attorney to object to their approach of being a public utility and they can go in the right-of-way like Comcast which is wrong. The structure is not a utility; it s a cell tower so it needs to go before the Zoning Board.
