Default cell phone towers

There is to be a cell phone tower to be built near our field in the near future. In preparation for a county commisioner meeting to approve the erection I contacted the AMA headquarters to see if this might be a problem. They assured me that cell phones operated in the 800 too 900 mghtz range and would not be a problem. What could be a problem is if the tower owners sublease space to operators of pagers or repeaters which do operate closer to our frequencies. At the commissioners meeting we did receive under oath, assurances from the AT&T reps that no problems would occur and any subleased operators would be held to AT&T high standards. If a problem does develop they provided guarentees that they would work with us to find and eliminate the problem.
