Sure there is, it just wouldn't fly here. It's the same solution to the last-mile problem. You stop carving up the spectrum into tiny chunks. Government owns the tower and all spectrum coming out of it, runs the fiber back to a central pop, cellphone carriers tie into that pop and route traffic appropriately - (the access is sold on a per-tower basis to recoup the costs). Lowers the barrier to entry for new providers and should create actual competition based on services instead of based on who has the most money to buy up and sit on spectrum.
The only reason we even have real competition at this point is because the FCC blocked AT&T's acquisition of tmo. That NEVER would've been blocked in our current climate.
