Cellular antennas operated by AT&T and T-Mobile mounted on the new 185-foot tower at Camp Blue Bay have improved service for Springs residents using those carriers. But Verizon's antennas are still mounted on the 70-foot tower adjacent to the new one, meaning service is still spotty, at best, for those who use that cell provider. MICHAEL WRIGHT
