With mobile masts the complaints are often due to the fact they are transmitting waves rather than just them not looking too pretty. For a trial I doubt many will worry if cables are hanging from a phone pole, especially if it means they get gigabit internet.
Wondered why they never made lamp posts multi-purpose and split it in to say 4 sections (possibly easy removable/replaced modular type design) with a shared section down one side, and allow different companies to utilise each section inside. No one really batters an eyelid with those kind of poles being there so why not hide stuff inside. Companies would start designing equipment that fitted inside that form factor. Unless I am missing something obvious?
