Hi,
The problem is that cell carriers (at least in my area) pay $500 -
$2,000 per month to be on a tower... the same towers that I pay $100 -
$250 per month. If you owned the towers, which customer would _you_
rather have? :(

It seems we (people on this list) are always easily dismissed by
large tower owners. These dismissals are often in the form of "here,
pay this $$$$$! fee up front to deal with us" or "who are you again?"
or my favorite and one that was told to me by an American Tower Rep:
"we don't deal with WISPs unless they are named Clearwire."
Is WISPA (or Part-15 for that matter) doing anything to negotiate
standard or discount leases with these tower owners?
I am not a member of either organization but this sort of thing would
definitely make me want to join up in a hurry. I also think that if
tower owners were faced with an organized group of people they might
cut though some of the BS we face when working out leases.
Just a suggestion,

Exactly. Crown is a nightmare if you are not a carrier, and
they are doing the assimiliation.
Smaller tower owners will continue to cater to the smaller
companies, the WISPS, and continue to gain their business.

How do you figure? Crown Castle is a nightmare to work with, and
Global Signal has worked well with WISPS. I hope Crown Castle takes
Global Signal's good sense with the purchase.
