Agreed, but little gems are still being found all the time as leases expire, etc. Never hurts to check, but you are right that eyes should be wide open and one needs a proper expectation of the cost and work involved. This is definitely not stuff done on an adhoc, unprepared basis.

If you find a school that hasn't already leased out the spectrum or isn't already in talks, it is possible they don't even know about it and you have to educate them a little, but it's unlikely. Negotiations are typically done between your lawyers and their lawyers. I'm sure the race to find/make the really good deals is mostly over but you never know... Jon Langeler Michwave Tech.
