Honestly good call and we’re looking at raising funds to do exactly that - however some of these buildings have values 
near a billion dollars each and there is more money in commercial real estate than telecom.

In my experience these things tend to crop-up with ownership of the building being a lot newer than the telco’s 
presence.   at $dayjob I’ve seen it personally - "MPOE access denied, you don’t have an agreement with the RMC”  then 
we produce an agreement (with us) that pre-dates the RMC’s agreement.  We can find the docs, but not every telco has 
every document from generations ago in some cases.

I’ve found in almost every business, there is a much greater efficiency presumed than realized.   Since I was a child 
I’ve felt that automation could fix this.
