For a landowner

Crown Castle is a tower company: it owns the structure and rents space on it to carriers. If its tower stands on your land, you are its landlord, and the rent it pays you is a cost it would like to fix or remove — which is why tower companies themselves, as well as specialist lease buyers, make buyout and extension offers. Whoever the owner is, the calculator values the rent you would give up.
