When the Developer was expanding on the South end of the Villages he was expanding faster than At&T could cover the growth. The POA collected over 500 complaints regarding this problem and the POA met with the Florida VP of AT&T to see what could be
done. As a result the VP agreed to sell the boosters for cell phone in some cases at half
price and in some cases they donated them until cell towers could be built and the residents who purchase or secured boosters could keep them. This was not advertised but done by the POA to help the residents. This is the kind of quiet support the POA
provides to the residents. To build a Cell Tower first you have to get the land, then get
the government permission to construct and use. It takes about a year and a half from start to finish to get a new Cell Tower.
