[GreenKeys] AT&T Microwave towers

[Blake Bowers]

Absolutely - thats what we do, and why we have such
familiarity with the towers.

We own a number of former AT&T and MCI towers,
and lease space to cellular carriers, government, etc.

Its a very rare renter that wants to try using the old
dishes though.
Don't take your organs to heaven,
heaven knows we need them down here!
