Mike see with these municipalities going have to realize that WISP ARE NOT Cell Phone companies and are NOT going to pay 2500+ per month for space on there water towers. I ran into that with my village what they did was call an other village/city that is 8 miles way from the village and the city mayor told them or showed them the contract that sprint was paying them for one water tower which was like 2500 dollars. So I got smart and contacted the city mayor and I asked about the rent from an local WISP was paying the city for the other water tower they have and the local WISP was only paying them 100 dollars an month for rent. So you got to watch out about these municipalities try to screw you over on rent because they automatically think your an cell phone company and not an internet service provider.

I have at least six whose rent totals three figures. Others want $2,500/month+ each... because that's what AT&T or Verizon paid. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com From: "Tim Reichhart" <timreichh...@hometowncable.net> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Friday, May 23, 2014 2:19:51 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Wisp friendly Tower co's Brian when you say they " do graduated rent increase" what do you mean by that? because alot of times its cheaper to rent space from village on there water towers or build your own for that 600-1000 per month from American Tower Co.

They did say that rents are going to be location based, meaning that areas where their tower may be the only game in town due to zoning restriction you will pay more. If the tower is very rural and they don't have a lot or requests for space on it (and in some areas the towers are actually empty) they are much more willing to talk about lower rent. They did also mention something about any fees being able to be billed over 12 months. They also said that they have done deals where they do a graduated rent increase in the first couple of years to give the WISP a break until they get a revenue stream going on that site. While there will be a lot of WISP's who will say they can still build their own towers cheaper, being able to use a major commercial tower company in a way that is at least in the ballpark for a WISP business model is a major leap in the right direction compared to years past.
