When Verizon Communications Inc. proposed dozens of small wireless cells along streets in Doylestown Borough, the reaction was a defiant no. Residents thought the boxy equipment that sprouted five-foot antennas on traffic lights or telephone poles would mar the borough's Norman Rockwell charm, along with the artsy aura of its Victorian homes. Others feared for their health with intensive 5G wireless services zapping them. Doylestown officials spent $150,000, held 10 public hearings and fought the small cell proposal in state and federal courts over more than a year, defending their right to say where the small cells would go — a David-vs.-Goliath tale of a small Pennsylvania town taking on a big corporation.
