It would be a lot cheaper to just take their customers. But it would be a lot more work and take more time. Also, that's kind of a jerk move I think. Besides, I really want the tower they own as part of it. Then I can possibly kick off their only competitor that pays to use it and then have 100% of the subs.
Their 40' tower is the only one on this mountain and would be a great asset to my company and goals. And kicking off the other guys would free up the entire 11Ghz spectrum in this valley making me be able to setup whatever links I need unhindered. Thank you all for your suggestions. I think I've figured out what to do next.
