I would have assumed that any calls between two different towers (ie if the customers are in two different hexes) are routed via fiber optics between those towers (ie via the common telecom grid), which is obviously NSA controlled.
So the only reason to do this would be to intercept call data for calls within the same cell, but this is easier made by forcing the operators to install relevant equipment. |

You don't need fancy equipment... just filtering software on the digital interlinks redirected to your PC. I had already worked this out before cell phones got anywhere near your ears - so easy to do. You can bet this was already installed before they put up the dinkum aerials..

Is there evidence that these towers are actually intercepting the signal or just interfering with it?

Don't you need an FCC license to operate something like that and a permit to build it in the first place? Seems someone should know.
