Good point on hiding identity.
But for a Small Local WISP, it may work to the buyer's benefit to disclose
they are a small local business looking to invest in the community.

Several times you have suggested using legal council for finding

On the surface that sounds odd to me, just because....
Why pay Lawyer rates ($400/hour) to do something that you could pay
someone ($15 per hour to research for you.).
I don't know what John had in mind, but I will say that it is fairly
common practice for unsolicited purchase/lease requests like this to be
handled by outside council, simply to hide the identity of the person
interested in the purchase or lease until at least interest is expressed
by the existing owner.
That said, in these cases I expect the background research was not done by
the lawyer but instead by the $15/hour person, which then would provide
details to the law firm as to who to potentially contact about the
lease/purchase.
