Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm their guinea pig. They haven't let any cell providers in yet. I'm the only tower user leasing town property. I suspect they mistakenly assume I'm raking in millions from my rohn25 tower there, and not investing a dime to do something for their residents/my customers. After all, I survived the dot-com bust, and I'm a college dropout dot-commer like Bill Gates and Michael Dell, so I must have some special resources...
