Surprise! There's a cell tower in your backyard.

How do cell phone towers (telecommunications transmission facilities) spring up in Montgomery County without any notification to neighbors?  
This topic was the subject of the January 9, 2012, Montgomery County Civic Federation meeting.  
Below is the video of the presentation by the panel.  The three presenters were:
