I'm just sayin'... That if we (er, you guys, I am not a member) come
at these folks with: "we have XXX number of players that want on your
towers. What sales-droid do we need to talk to? Can we make a wispa
package to make it easier for the sales-droid to hit his numbers?"
Then perhaps Wispa, part-15 whatever can leverage their membership to
help all of the members.
I seem to get hotel rooms cheaper when I use my AAA card and I get
electronics cheaper when I use my IEEE card. I would love to use my
WISPA/Part-15 card to get cheaper, hell just easier and standard
leases from tower owners.
Just a suggestion.

Hi,
The problem is that cell carriers (at least in my area) pay $500 -
$2,000 per month to be on a tower... the same towers that I pay
$100 - $250 per month. If you owned the towers, which customer
would _you_ rather have? :(

It seems we (people on this list) are always easily dismissed by
large tower owners. These dismissals are often in the form of
"here, pay this $$$$$! fee up front to deal with us" or "who are
you again?" or my favorite and one that was told to me by an
American Tower Rep: "we don't deal with WISPs unless they are
named Clearwire."
Is WISPA (or Part-15 for that matter) doing anything to negotiate
standard or discount leases with these tower owners?
I am not a member of either organization but this sort of thing
would definitely make me want to join up in a hurry. I also think
that if tower owners were faced with an organized group of people
they might cut though some of the BS we face when working out
leases.
Just a suggestion,

Exactly. Crown is a nightmare if you are not a carrier, and
they are doing the assimiliation.
Smaller tower owners will continue to cater to the smaller
companies, the WISPS, and continue to gain their business.

How do you figure? Crown Castle is a nightmare to work with,
and Global Signal has worked well with WISPS. I hope Crown
Castle takes Global Signal's good sense with the purchase.
