In plain English
Crown Castle owns more than 40,000 cell towers across the United States and rents space on them to the big wireless carriers — T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon — who together pay about 90% of its rent. After selling its fiber and small-cell businesses for $8.5B in May 2026 (fiber to Zayo, small cells to an EQT fund), it is now the only large US-focused pure-play tower REIT, returning most of its cash to shareholders as a dividend.
