The company expects stable operations with a changing mix, increasing exposure to Verizon and decreasing to T-Mobile [16][17]. - **Long-term Growth**: The company anticipates a normalized top-line growth rate of 4%-5% in the long term, with escalators on lease agreements around 3% and new lease activity contributing 2%-3% [18][20].
