Could be one of the companies had a lease coming due and the tower owner was not willing to negotiate a reduced rent so the carrier built another tower nearby and relocated there. Really unconscionable that local authorities allow these companies to get away with building a new tower nearby to get out from under lease terms. Then again, this could be "Active Infrastructure Sharing," although I do not see massive mimo antenna deployed: Wireless companies share electronics in one set of equipment for all carriers to transmit and receive. Because they have short term one sided termination language (30,60,90 days) they will tell the tower owner that the tower is no longer suitable, terminate, and begin transmitting and receiving on just the one set of equipment left behind. As always, tower owner/property owner gets the short end of the stick, lost rent. I work the property owner side of this equation and the technology is here and ready to deploy. For the wireless carrier, billions of dollars in monthly rent saved, it is going to happen, it is happening, it has happened.
