Can the wireless company use a tower at the district site for services to clients other than the consortium?
Yes. The telecommunications company providing the wireless Internet service is a common carrier and therefore has to offer services to other clients. For instance, if a cellular telephone company needed a tower at that location, the wireless company could negotiate to provide a tower, but would only provide services if the school district approved an agreement that provided monthly revenue to the district, since the tower is on the district’s land.
