I dunno man, I called Global one day, and said I want space on that tower, I'll pay you $250 a month for two antennas and they got me a lease for $400... executed it and installed equipment within 2 weeks -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom DeReggi Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 1:39 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Re: Crown Castle / Global signal If you don't know what it costs, then it means you aren't experienced enough to understand why they don't just give you a cost upfront, or two young a company to be financial secure to do business with, and if you are worried about it, then you probably don;t have the budget to pay for it, in their mind.
