As long as you quote, Larry is correct. Look at the web page
you mention... The subject line...
Over the Air RECEPTION devices rule.
Then it does make a little exception down lower in the page,
On October 25, 2000, the Commission further amended the rule so that it
applies
to customer-end antennas that receive and transmit fixed wireless signals.
This amendment became effective on May 25, 2001.
CUSTOMER-end antennas.
Q: Does the rule apply to hub or relay antennas?
A: The rule applies to "customer-end antennas" which are antennas placed at
a customer location for the purpose of providing service to customers at
that location. The rule does not cover antennas used to transmit signals to
and/or receive signals from multiple customer locations.
Then it pretty much squashes a WISP's antennas for providing service to
multiple users.....

Q: Does the rule apply to commercial property or only residential
property?
A: Nothing in the rule excludes antennas installed on commercial property.
The rule applies to property used for commercial purposes in the same way
it applies to residential property.

For the record, OTARD applies to residential rights to have an antenna
which enables reception of TV broadcast/satelite signals. I think that
OTARD could be used to establish a similar right for a residential use of
broadband access antennas as well. However, OTARD doesn't do anything to
give the PROVIDER (rather than the end-user) rights to install necessary
antennas. So, it sounds like you got lucky with your towers.
