- vvanders 8y agoYeah, I've heard from ham types that it's really common to see near 7-figure buy-outs for prime tower land(50' x 50' + access) before even talking about costs of putting up 100'+ tower, power and hardware.
- fooker 8y agoSure. Now imagine if a wifi router cost a company 10000$ instead of 100$. These devices would need a density closer to wifi access points, compared to cellular towers.
