Could we expect to charge and receive the same rates for the cell phone lease/s on our owned towers as we are being asked for on a 802.11.x install on other towers? In an earlier post it was mentioned not to expect this? Any one involved in such a lease and would share the tower & lease specs of that with me on or off list?
