ABSTRACT
This chapter assumes you’ve got the necessary permits, and the structure is up. You may find that you soon have cellular carriers or other operators knocking on your door looking to either lease space on your tower or lease a subplot of your land to erect a tower of their own. That’s a good thing, but before you get carried away by the dollar signs flashing before your eyes, you must consider several issues. Among them are the following:
The effect such a structure and its construction will have upon your operations
The financial and legal terms of the lease
The effect additional antennas on your structure, or additional structures on your land, may have upon your compliance with the terms of the permit you’ve fought so tenaciously to secure
The implications such a lease will have on your ability to modify your own structure or to sell the structure and the land upon which it sits
