>Improving cell coverage / planning for growth is a specific purpose.
Agree, so you just need contractual permission (not hard to get). You can't decide later that you want to use it for some other apparently-innocuous reason.
>any reasonable argument starts in years.
Cell coverage data from years ago is relevant to today's growth? Although that might be enough to get you out of a legal hole, I find that highly dubious.
The law is there, but it's not understood, not clear enough, nor enforceable enough for commerce to fall in line.
what your company doesn't make year over year comparisons? Many telco's at least in the US don't own every tower they rent and if they can compare that we aren't utilizing this tower is this a downward trend? Should we not renew our contract for this cell tower location. Then there is just the planning aspects of anticipating heavy use patterns for major events, concerts, festivals etc. you can't compare how your system is handling the added demand as an even grows if you don't have data
