Personally these arrangements make me nervous. Some of the AP hosts seem to have a major sense of entitlement with regards to how much help they want with their internal stuff. Others are completely nice.

Imagine one of your really off the wall, crazy customers. Now Imagine they have the power to unplug your AP's if they aren't happy. How do you know ahead of time that the person isn't one of these crazies?

....there's an economic case that can be made, but I'll always be nervous about it.

    I would give the free service at minimum.  I may throw in $50-100
    per month for power (even though we use less than $5.00).

        Rory, I was wondering how much you give to the property owner

        Darin, 50% off sounds reasonable. That's actually what I was
        entertaining.

            I'm working on some small repeater sites with few
            customers (normally 5-10 possible). What is a typical
            payment for use of such a low volume location?

            [I decided to ask after seeing Rory posted a picture of 1x
            backhaul and 1x omni on a rooftop. This setup is very
            similar to what I have planned. I expect to regularly use
            one backhaul dish and one or two radios for local service.]

            Thanks - Chris
