In South Africa, Cellular companies are – by law – to erect masts that are meant to look like trees. It actually works pretty well. The entire mast looks like a tree, except for a small light on top. In most cases, you would not know what it was unless you walked up close. In this case, I think that this is what they should do. It doesn't ruin the landscape at all, and helps to keep things looking natural.
Perhaps those that are against this erecting should also look into providing an option to the cellular company which they may have not considered – or, even if it costs them – at least it is something that everyone can agree with.
