Who Covers Cost of New Antenna?

Hi - My municipality is selling tower lease revenue. One of the bids provides for a little more money upfront, but in exchange, bidder retains 50% of any new revenue. I have a good idea (based on the existing 15 leases) what a new lease will generate. I've been told there's space for 2 more antennas, but the cost to add them is $50k-$100k each. Does this sound right? If it does, since the revenue would be shared (for a period of 10 years), who bears cost of new antennas - the municipality? the bidder (cell tower management company of some sort)? or the cellular company the leases the new antenna? Thanks.

Sounds fishy to me. It shouldn't cost the municipality anything to add new antennas. Has your town put out a formal bid? Call us to discuss 888-313-9750.
