Sounds like they get a lot of consideration for being a "public service". Not quite as bad as eminent domain but probably bad enough for someone trying to fight it. Bear in mind that power companies, land line phone companies etc. are also for profit companies and still get a TON of leeway when it comes to zoning since they are providing what are considered essential services for the public.
Might want to try to fight for some meliorating modifications .... make them plant some trees, or as has been suggested a camouflage tower, anything to lessen the impact on your property rather than a losing battle to prevent the tower altogether.
