"The latest extension pushes the ban through December and will apply to the installation of any wireless telecom antennas for cellular and mobile phones and other communication systems in commercial districts.Residents wary of the recent spurt of antennas around town wanted an even longer extension, but the vote was criticized by people in the telecom industry who call it reactionary and unnecessary."
