In Washington State they already do that with United States Cellular.

It appears they're looking for rural cellular companies (outside of
the Verizon 3G coverage area) to lease the spectrum from Verizon.
Then that company is to build the entire network with their own funds
and then institute roaming to\from Verizon's LTE.

Just got this from Verizon as a link on a advertisement:
Verizon's 4G network will be available in 38 markets and major
airports, covering approximately 100+ million people by the end of
the year. We plan to double that in 2012 and cover our entire
existing 3G footprint with 4G LTE by the end of 2013.
Verizon Wireless is aggressively building the nation’s first 4G LTE
network across the same footprint that is currently covered by its
nationwide 3G network, which covers more than 90% of the U.S.
population. *In order to provide access to this 4G LTE network to
more of the U.S. population living in rural areas, Verizon Wireless
plans to work with rural companies to collaboratively build and
operate a 4G network in those areas using the tower and backhaul
assets of the rural company and Verizon Wireless’ core LTE equipment
and 700MHz spectrum.***
Verizon Wireless provides a unique opportunity for selected
participants to leverage the company’s technical and spectrum
resources. We are seeking companies that can assist in bringing the
benefits of 4G LTE service to rural areas that currently lack Verizon
Wireless coverage. Verizon Wireless may work with rural companies
that have towers and backhaul capabilities, even if those companies
are not currently wireless operators. Together, we will plan and
coordinate a local LTE deployment schedule that makes sense for both
Verizon Wireless and the rural company that we are collaborating with.
