Tonight, while trying to figure out why I'm getting so many dropped calls over the past week from AT&T, I found a few interesting web sites.Now you can know who owns every tower around you and even the frequencies transmitted by that tower.
The first link builds a nice data sheet for you that you can download and open. CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. In addition to Excel, you can open a CSV file with the free OpenOffice Calc software.

After you have this, many of your questions may be answered... but you may also have new questions, like who are some of the mysterious corporations that own towers around you ... and what are they doing on all of those frequencies?
