You have to walk away from that site. If you cannot reasonably discuss this with a tower owner you never will. Your time will be much better spent on finding a new or even building a new location. If you run in to a zoning issue where they try to make you locate on the existing tower, most zoning laws have exemptions for when there is not a structural capability and/or it would place an economic hardship on the business. You may have to disclose more business details than you prefer but it is an option if you have to go that far.
If people are convinced they have gold and you can't make the case that there have not been any carriers offering up those rates in recent years to be on their site, then they will have to learn that the hard way.

Like if someone says they need at least $2,500/mo from you because that's what they would get from Verizon/AT&T/Sprint. I usually want to say if a cell company wanted to be at your site they probably would have by now, but I say something like they have a bigger subscriber base than we do and we're only looking to target X customers in this area vs. thousands of mobile devices. ~Seth _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
