Someone I know owns a property with a mono-pole on it owned by American Tower. The landowner has a pretty good lease IMO. They are getting $13,000 lease payments annually that increase 15% every 5 years. The tower is downtown in a populated city and Verizon is the only tenant on it and there is not

The tower companies are getting squeezed hard by the cell carriers. If American can’t cut back what they are charging Verizon it's pretty likely Verizon will move off the site. That might be hard to do but big companies often fail to look at what it will cost them to replace it at any given

I wonder what the markup is between ATC and VZW? If you could negotiate directly with VZW you might be able to get terms equal to what you're getting now by eliminating the middleman. The only issue will be what you end up absorbing in terms of site maintenance.
