Episode Details

Bloomfield Township, Michigan, is tackling a growing crisis: unreliable cell service that puts residents—especially those with aging parents—at risk during emergencies. With dropped calls and weak signals, phones often fail when help is needed most. The township has ramped up efforts, approving over 30 small cell installations this year compared to just five last year, working with Verizon and AT&T to boost coverage in the worst-hit zones. Officials are pushing for faster deployment and prioritizing high-need areas, though no firm timeline exists—with providers aiming to finish before winter. While progress is underway, residents are still waiting for real, reliable improvements on the ground.
