That's us, for sure. We were talking to Rose Bothfeld about the cell phone installation Unicel did on a silo at their farm on West Hill in Cabot, and she said it is working out very well but as you know, Unicel sold to AT&T and that has probably changed the prospects for more cell towers. Reports are that AT&T has no immediate plans for new towers, so it would seem we've missed an opportunity to have a cell tower on one of the Sousa farm silos on Cabot Plain. We can enjoy our Utopia for a while longer.
