Bank of America sells flagpoles as cellular masts

Project America - it has a resoundingly fervent sound with the patriotism echoing, the Stars and Stripes and apple pie in the background... which appears to be Bank of America's way of getting a project under way which might be unpopular with the general public, reports The Register.

"The project is quite simply, using BofA buildings as cellphone masts. It means real estate firm Trammell Crow Company has done a deal with the bank, which allows it to offer "approximately 3,500 Bank of America retail banking centres nationwide for installation of state-of-the-art stealth transmission sites. These site installations will be built to mimic existing features, such as flag poles and light standards."
