Althouth AMT's technology has been beat by a "box" style cell phone tower, I pick AMT for the short term, as demand should remain be strong until a switch to the new technology begins and becomes affordable

The earnings yield is 1.8%, cash flow yield is 4.1% and dividend yield is 0%. AMT might be able to grow around 12% a year, maybe a little more.Investors will eventually realize these are not acceptable yields.

Leo E. Rishty, editor of Unique Situations, recommended Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) based on its new lightRadio wireless technology:

“Envision all of those [cell phone] towers disappearing and being replaced with a little box the size of a Big Mac hamburger box. Bell Labs, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent, has developed such a product. It is known as LTE radio. They can be placed on the top of a light post or the top of any building (or on the side.) These little boxes are able to relay cell phone signals with less interference than the ugly 200-foot towers [where] cell providers are sharing the tower and creating interference and loss of signal. None of that is present in the Alcatel-Lucent lightRadio. Production of LTE radio is expected to commence shortly, and the product should be available in the early part of 2012. Alcatel-Lucent is a leader in mobile, fixed, IP and optics technologies, and a pioneer in applications and services. Alcatel-Lucent includes Bell Labs, one of the world’s foremost centers for research and innovation in communications technology. An investment in Bell Labs would be worth more than all of ALU. They have thousands of viable patents related to the telecom field, and more each day. I rate Alcatel-Lucent a Strong Buy with a conservative target of $4 to $5 a share.”

More smart phones and tablets are being registered. It doesn't matter what carrier they use - they all need a tower to push the signals.

American Tower has a competitive advantage over rivals like Crown Castle International based on infrastructure. As data usage grows, so will the corporation. Management is widely recognized as excellent. Finally, a REIT conversion will provide benefits for shareholders.
