What HarryT said. Besides, it's not just an artificial limitation. Carriers are already in the process of upgrading their networks, however, that process takes time. As time passes, technology will develop for more efficient delivery via air waves. Another thing, cellular towers do pose health risks. I know there was a case where a tower was built too close to a small village and the inhabitants and their children became all mutated and stuff. Definitely class action lawsuit material (with million dollar settlements) had that village been located in the US.
