What you are looking at is common in many urban areas, like Dallas Houston, Austin, etc. The power companies realized that since they already have vertical real estate they could re-sell it to PCS and cellular providers. They already had the tower crews, too.
This was mostly during the time period before most of them sold off their communication corporations. Anyway, they have many of these site deployed throughout the Texas area at least. I have also seen some of them in the Tulsa and Kansas City areas. Don't rush out an try to lease space from them. You don't want to even guess what they charge for it and for the tower work, when necessary to be done.

Is this being done? I wish I could have gotten closer for a spectrum check! Anyone?
