If the building was sufficiently damaged, the city should condemn it, take it by eminent domain, and put a huge Wi-Fi hub and cellular switching center atop it. Certainly BellSouth has already wrung everything they could out of their insurer for it. It was probably cheaper for them to give it to the city than pay for it's demolition, so their offer was likely rather disingenuous to start with. “Following New Orleans’ adoption of Wi-Fi to help its beleaguered citizens, BellSouth cancelled its plan to give a building damaged by Hurricane Katrina to the city.”

If it it in the hands of private cictizens, then Verizon, BellSouth, SBC, and the other monopolies can go f**k themselves.
