We are completely and utterly in support of tower sharing. I think it is one of the ways to make rural build-out make sense. To take the easiest example, if building a tower in a rural area where it is less densely populated costs $100, it would take one person one year of revenue to cover this. If someone else were to share the tower and rent out the space, the person who provides the tower—say Bell—would get revenue more quickly because they would be receiving rent. Their rate of return would be quicker and earlier and they would get their money back more quickly. I see no reason why there shouldn't be tower sharing. I think tower sharing is completely aligned with rural build.
