Viperules700 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just seen on tv bell is planting 100 metre fake pine tree's as new cell phone and internet towers for musoka area. Should improve the snowmobiling experience this winter. Has anyone seen these fake tree's yet first hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweese Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 No I haven't seen one. But I saw a news story about it and they also did one inside a cross that a church was putting up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I've seen first hand picture of the Pine Trees being erected. They look reall good!! They will only be used in places where absolutely needed. As you would imagine, there is an added cost for the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slomo Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 There is one in Milford Bay , looks great , actually surprised Bell pulled it off Not just Bell !!.........in concert with FedNor "Link the North" initiatives by Tony Clement, Federal Industry Minister, Rogers is rolling out their own little known new brand of satellite television which may include internet access in remote regions. Particularly useful in Northern Ontario where it is impractical (expensive) to string cable. As part of an SOP specific to 'congruancy' with the surrounding environment, Rogers has developed new types of transmitters and receivers: Bell equipment on the left. New Rogers equipment on the right. (surprised satrat up in Dryden hasn't been on top of this development) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satrat Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 we have been nailing subscriber modules to pine trees for 10 years now so it old news. Just a bit sticky in the spring if you have to re-aim the damn thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrnd Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've seen first hand picture of the Pine Trees being erected. They look reall good!! They will only be used in places where absolutely needed. As you would imagine, there is an added cost for the site. If they look better than the "sculpture" on Barrie's waterfront, they should blend into the woodwork. While in WV or VA last week I saw a cell tower that had a few "branches" attached to it. Not a great representation of a pine tree, but better looking than the typical tripole(?) tower.

Doogirl69 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 At the West gate of Algonquin Park there are 2 flag poles. One of them is a Bell tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowTouringGuy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 i'm not sure it's really Bell. I think it might be the Ron Jeremy Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
