Well, early on it was a pain to deal with them, but after working with them now we've been able to get things moving a little faster but cost can suck. The engineering fee is BS but they won't budge on it; that will set you back about $1800. Plus you need $10 Mil in liability insurance if you install yourself (barring you have a certified tower climber). We just hire a tower climbing company instead, but that's not cheap either, usually $2000 for the day to have two climbers (which they require). Expect up to 90 days before anything substantial happens through in terms of paper work...they are extremely before approving a site!
As for monthly rental fee that is reasonable, we pay anywhere from $500 to $800 depending on the location.
