I thought it was funny that you made an irrelevant statement (that you apparently understand telus very well), to support a completely obvious conclusion (that cost is likely a factor in the location of the tower).

Ok, if you wont accept Shantz's point about money, how about a basic understanding of construction? Do you think that you can just go putting something like that on the roof of a 30 year old building? You can't not bring up money, because it's not free to get a flat roof like that re-engineered and then upgraded, to support something like that.

And besides, wouldn't that just put the tower another 30 feet higher in the air, and thus make it even more of an eyesore?

5 star thread indeed. (credit to KG for that phrase)
