Now I need to ask how they produce petroleum products without petroleum. Could be Dust I guess, an all purpose plot-material.

The CCTS towers - so these are just incredibly powerful radio transmitters? Seems an awful lot of fuss over nothing, though I guess if you have a fairly decent sized planet and not many places to put up powerful broadcast stations without having to protect them then the issue of signal strength would be problematic.
