I know a number of people with IPhones. And I must say they are way "cool." However, a real problem surfaced this winter in Breckenridge. Do to the influx of visitors shooting video, snapping photos and emailing them to their friends every weekend, the system became so overloaded you could not make or receive a phone call. My Blackberry did not have that problem. So . . .
AT&T is working with the Town of Breckenridge to get a new, permanent tower set up to better accommodate mobile phone customers.
“We have a high sense of urgency in Breckenridge, and we're moving through as quickly as possible,” AT&T spokeswoman Brooke Burgess said.
Meanwhile a temporary tower on wheels has been installed in town to supplement existing service. Town spokeswoman Kim DiLallo said people from public works and community development met with AT&T representatives recently to work on potential tower locations.
“There are a lot of technical issues that go into deciding where is a good location for a tower, and AT&T is working on figuring out the best locations, and then will need to negotiate with property owners,” DiLallo said in an e-mail.
