Hi Stewart, 

yes, some towers and mobiles agree on power levels; but the tower's not
a phased array (that is, the mobile doesn't attract higher radiation
directionally from the tower). The tower's radiation increases uniformly
and decreases with the square of the distance.

But the phone is far more of a threat in the radiation sense.

To quote someone else's statistic about the mobile phone tx power:

"Its emission at the head surface is typically 10,000 times stronger than 
fields reaching the head of a user standing within 30m of the base of a 
typical mobile phone relay transponder mounted on a tower 30m above ground."
