Wireless communications firm T-Mobile South has sued DeKalb County a second time in its continuing efforts to erect cellphone towers on public school properties.

The company filed suit in U.S. District Court on Dec. 20, asking Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. to force the county to issue a land development permit so it can build a wireless tower at the Margaret Harris Comprehensive School in Atlanta.
