Is it ethical for McCain to get two free Portable Cell Phone Towers for his ranch. ?

He is a member of the Senate Commerce Committee which oversees the FCC and telecommunications industry and asked A T & T and Verizon to give him free cell towers for his ranch. Not surprisingly they gave him anything he wanted.

Exclusive: Verizon and AT&T Provided Cell Towers for McCain Ranch - Washington Post Investigations

"Early in 2007, just as her husband launched his presidential bid, Cindy McCain decided to resolve an old problem -- the lack of cellular telephone coverage on her remote 15-acre ranch near Sedona, nestled deep in a tree-lined canyon called Hidden Valley.

By the time Sen. John McCain's presidential bid was in full swing this summer, the ranch had wireless coverage from the two cellular companies most often used by campaign staff -- Verizon Wireless and AT&T.

Verizon delivered a portable tower know as a "cell site on wheels" -- free of charge -- to Cindy McCain's property in June in response to an online request from Cindy McCain's staff early last year. Such devices are usually reserved for restoring service when cell coverage is knocked out during emergencies, such as hurricanes."
