Cell Tower Question

I hope this is the right forum for this.

I live about 100 feet from a SBC cell tower. The tower is about
120 ft high. I have observed three types of lines going into the
building complex/power station. One it a regular voltage power line.
Second, is a regular phone line, that I suppose techs use to contact
home office. Third is a fiber optics line.

I was wondering is there anything I could tap into as far as either
getting Internet access? Would I still need an antenna for
picking up transmissions from the tower? Would it be better to splice
into the fiber optic cable?

What would that cable contain? Are there other forums that would have
more info?

Thanks for your help.

Presumably Cingular.

You need a Cingular wireless device and data plan.

That'a a joke, right?
