Though some are not happy about the proposal to let telecoms install small antennas in the public right of way, city officials believe the decision will spur more competition and better service to residents.

(TNS) - SANTA FE, N.M. - Santa Fe's often spotty wireless and cellphone service may be in for an upgrade.
A package of ordinance changes moving through the city council approval process is intended to open up rights of way to telecommunications providers and encourage more competition over rates among service providers.
Matt Brown, the city's economic development director, said residents shouldn't expect to see improved service right away, or even in the next six months, if the proposed ordinances are approved, as expected.
