Turns out it's super-easy to commandeer wireless towers

Keep in mind that this doesn’t change the ownership of the property in question, it just changes who the FCC goes to when there are problems with the radio signals being emitted by the property.

Because of that, it’s not clear what the fellow in WI hoped to gain by doing this. It’s not like he could have tried to sell the towers based on these altered records. All that is likely to happen is that the records get switched back to their original state, this fellow gets a stiff fine and possibly banned from holding any FCC license for life. Not much upside here.
