Don, Unless your backhaul can support TDM natively and can deliver over 500Mbps just to them (which from what I understand the carriers are really believing they will need), I don't think the average carrier would be interested in collocating if that is what you were thinking of.
The more immediate concern to WISP's should be carriers like Clearwire/Sprint gobbling up licensed spectrum for their backhauls in my opinion. It's a very real concern in markets where Clearwire has deployed... and is only going to become more of a concern going forward. 60GHz and 80GHz are going to get a big boost though.

If enough were on board it would be a win/win for those involved.
