Good luck to them enforcing that. In my experience leasing tower space to 
cell phone companies for Charles River Broadcasting, I found the companies 
willing to agree to anything but once up and running, would conveniently 
forget their agreements. And it's virtually impossible to evict a cell 
site or shut it down once it's on the air.
