		BT decided public access to all areas was no longer viable and the restaurant closed in 1980 (by this time, more than 4.5 million people had visited the BT Tower).

	BBC - h2g2 - The TV Tower, Prague, Czech Republic
		It's Prague's answer to London's BT Tower - a space-age rocket or needle 200 metres tall, conceived as a grand vision in 1978 and built between 1985 and 1992.
		The TV tower is a crime against the old town, or the historical town, as it's very tall and on the horizon of the town, the value of which is that it has in scale very small spires and roofs and trees and hills.
		When it was built, the Tower was very unpopular among Prague residents - firstly, it was considered a modern eyesore casting a shadow over the Old Town; secondly, people suddenly found that the signals from West German TV stations had been jammed; and thirdly there were worries about the radioactivity given off by the transmitter.
