           | towers so as not to cause problems with farther away towers
           | that want operate on the same frequencies. It's like how you
           | usually want to not be on the same Wifi channel as your
           | neighbor. It's going to take either more RF power to overcome
           | their signal or take more time getting data through due to a
           | less than perfect signal quality. Cell towers occupy a
           | certain geographic cell so you want some overlap in signal
           | between neighbors but you don't want it to extend much
           | further than what it takes to leave enough time for someone
           | in a car, for example, to have their conversation handed off
           | to the neighboring tower. Cell tower operators might want to
           | boost their signal power if they are bordering an area with
           | low coverage but it's going to begin to interfere with cells
           | outside their intended range. The FCC sets these limits for
           | different applications and frequencies. An FM radio tower is
           | going to have a massive output power as compared to a
           | personal FM transmitter for your car and for good reason, no
