I dunno man, I called Global one day, and said "I want space on that tower, I'll pay you $250 a month for two antennas" and they got me a lease for $400... executed it and installed equipment within 2 weeks....

What ends up happening is its the sales guy, who writes you off, not necessarilly the tower company. Sometimes they won't call you back for MONTHS, until he has nothing else to do that day! The way to get around that, is to start out with the first relationship paying significantly, so you can establish a relationship with someone. Once you have their ear, and made a commitment, you can start negotiating. You should start out by asking someone else in the industry what they are paying for the space, and going in, with that understanding working with them.
