   Signal One representative Sean Caskie maintains that construction of the tower will not be harmful to the community and will represent a move into the 20th century for the residents, as well as provide safety by creating a new cell phone service that would make 911 available for more cellular customers.
   
   He said if a temporary injunction is issued, the company stands to lose a client, the potential revenue generated by the client, and more than $120,000 due to a five year lease the company is already locked into.
   ...
   Caskie, vice president of business development for the Chattanooga-based Signal One, has worked for the company for the last three years and been involved in cellular signal transmission work since 1994. His job is to oversee and manage the company's site regulations, zoning and real estate issues.
   
   He testified that in order to maintain a FCC license, a cellular phone company must provide service to 75 percent of the geographic population. The cellular phone company in question is TriTell, a division of Suncom, and Signal One wants to own and operate TriTell's cellular telecommunications tower.
   
   Caskie said there are currently seven companies licensed to provide cellular service in this area. The tower would have very little operating equipment, except for the FAA required light, and it will cost approximately $300,000 to complete.
   
   It is scheduled to be delivered Nov. 12 and operational by Dec. 31. If construction does not begin on the tower then, Signal One will not be able to use the site and will lose approximately $120,000 a year in a five-year lease, costing approximately $350 a month.
   
   Caskie said a delay could mean losing the entire operation. He addressed Wade's and Key's concerns about potential problems caused by the tower, saying it will not cause interference and will not create a lot of wind noise.
   
   "There would be wind noise in extreme weather conditions," he said, "but trees and tin roofs would make much more noise."
   
   An air conditioner installed in worker shelters during tower construction is the only other thing that Caskie said could produce noise. And the tower, an unmanned installation, would only require one visit each month for maintenance work.
   
   In his redirection, plaintiffs' attorney Bill Rutledge said Caskie had not visited the proposed tower site and could not know, first hand, what kind of impact it would have on residents.
   ...
   Caskie said the tower would be safe, and the company has every right to erect it because it was approved by their customer and met federal and state guidelines.
   
   "I understand that this is upsetting to them, and I feel for them," he said. "I am sympathetic. But it represents an improvement in the infrastructure of this community, to the safety of this community, and it represents a move into the 20th century." Approximately 75 percent of Signal One's towers are located in residential areas, he said.
   ...
   Caskie said Wednesday no study he has read has shown that cell phone signals create health problems.
