Sell-Out Tower?

Near my father's senior living community, there is a large monolithic church steeple-thingy right next to a church.

I always thought it was a little ostentatious. 

Well, recently, my dad informed me that the church allegedly has a contract with someone to store a cell phone tower inside of it?  Or something along those lines.

So, my question to you is...sellout?  or smart?
