We typically advise our clients not to focus on revenue sharing as the towers on their land get closer to "full". Full doesn't necessarily mean 4 carriers- a tower with 2 or 3 carriers can be full if the other carriers are on towers in the nearby vicinity. We review each carrier's cell site locations and determine the probability that they will use the subject location.
In your case with the 4 national carriers on your tower, unless there is another regional carrier in the area, it is not that probable that there would be additional revenue from which you would share. There is always the chance of other non-cellular providers leasing space on the tower, but the probability is lower as well as the rent they pay for access to the tower.
Everyone in my industry dreams of a day when tech companies need tower space in scale- but I am not holding my breath and you shouldn't either. Focus on improving the rent and/or escalation to their optimum amount with any lease extension and expiration. If you need help figuring out how much that is- we are always here.
