For a landowner

Alltel is a carrier, or a carrier-related registrant. Carriers have sold most of their towers to tower companies over the years, so a lease that began with a carrier may now be held by a tower company — the current FCC record shows who. Whoever the owner is, the calculator values the rent you would give up.
