Self v. Inc. (N.D. Ala. 2000) was a significant case for BellSouth Mobility. In this case, the court ruled that the company did not have to disclose the location of its cell towers.

The case involved a woman who claimed that her neighbor's cell phone was interfering with her medical equipment. The court ultimately found that the company did not have to disclose the location of the cell tower because it was not a "nuisance" under Alabama law.

BellSouth Mobility was not responsible for the alleged interference. The company argued that the cell phone's signal was not strong enough to cause any harm, and the court agreed.
