A Base Station Identification Quiz

Saturday November 29, 2008
Mobile Phone Tower Disguised As a Tree (Abuja, Nigeria - November 2008) Do you know what an outdoor wireless base station looks like? Some chaps at The Register have developed a test of your ability to discern base stations from trees, pipes and other common objects that wireless Internet providers try to disguise their equipment as. Just browse their collection of 20 nature photos and look for signs of cellular towers or other network gear in each one (Warning: Some of the photos are challenging.)

Take The Quiz - Would You Know a Base Station If You Saw One? (at theregister.co.uk)
