By John Celentano, Inside Towers Business EditorCrown Castle International (NYSE: CCI) has just completed what CCI’s President and CEO Jay Brown referred to in the company’s 4Q21 earnings call as a “tremendous year … as our customers began upgrading their existing cell sites as part of the first phase of the 5G buildout in the U.S.”

He adds, “We expect elevated levels of tower leasing to continue this year and believe we will once again lead the industry with the highest U.S. tower revenue growth in 2022.
