Spectrasite to be the target of an acquisition?
Spectrasite (SITE)- a national cell tower company- is the subject of a number of rumors including the AAT rumor posted earlier and a current one that has Crown Castle (CCI) purchasing Spectrasite. Crown, flush from selling European assets, should have the capital to conclude this deal. However, if SITE purchased AAT, would Crown still be able to stomach the acquisition?

I have heard nothing regarding ATC and SITE. Not sure how that would work either. They both have a decent concentration in urban areas- and I have not heard anything about ATC being in the acquisiition mode.
I suspect that there will be some type of acquisition announcement at CTIA.
I checked with a few good sources- and no one would confirm or deny this. No one had any knowledge of this though.
The rumors have been persistant that SCI will be acquired. I have heard of a backwards merger with AAT- but there is not confirmation of that.
I would also tend to agree with you that SCI/Global would seem more likely just because of Global's obvious hunger for product lately.
Not sure Crown has the desire to bid competitively against Global.
