Hi there

I am trying to find out what the standard monthly rate is for iBurst and/or any other wireless companies pay to have their antenna on myrooftop. Can anyone help?
 
A while ago (approx 10 months) I saw a commercial building for sale in Blarigowrie (JHB) which had an existing lease in place for the equipment on the roof of one of the Mobile Network Operators.

If memory serves me correctly the lease was around the R15 000 per month, however the lease period was something like 10 years.

Hope this helps.
 
Would something like R15000 be feasable for iBurst?

They'd have to have about 50 people on the tower just to pay for its rent. Their basestations are probably smaller or something :/
 
R15,000 sounds a bit much for rent for one tower as EHV pointed out, since how much space can one base station equipment take.

Then again if it is that much they are welcome to put a base station upstairs next to my PC room for R14,000 per month.:D
 
Cell phone tower rental is around R3000-4000. Not sure if that's a useful base from comparison.
