The answer

The primary objective of telecommunication companies is profit, which is permissible. The sin of thehibited messages sent by the company to its customers falls upon the sender and whoever ordered or approved them, not upon someone whose work is far removed from them and who disapproves of them. The harms of antennas to humans require proof, and one should not rely on unsubstantiated claims. The ruling remains on the basis of permissibility until this harm is proven. If it is proven, then it is not permissible to work in anything that harms people.
