Back when it was Cingular, I tried getting on a tower they own. They wanted $1600/mo and an engineering study done (usually $2500 or so). I just talked to the land owner, and he let me build a tower on equally high ground and I am spending WAY less than $1600/mo and I OWN the tower for co-locating. If you go with the tower management company, I bet you could get it quite a bit less.
I DO know that another tower owner that rents to me at $1/ft on his towers, and according to SBA, they manage his tower. They wanted over $400/mo (almost $2/ft) next to a town about 400 people... The bottom line is that you might do some research before you make any decisions. You might find another deal you didn't know existed.
