(subject to the limitations described below). See &#147;&#151;Method of Payment of Dividends&#148; below. Declared dividends on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each

dividend rate by four. Dividends payable on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for any period other than a full dividend period will be computed based upon the actual number of days elapsed during such period over a 360-day year (consisting
of 12 30-day months). Accordingly, the dividend on the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock for the first dividend period, assuming the initial issue date is July&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;, 2017 will be

cash or property (each, a &#147;reorganization event&#148;), each share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reorganization event shall, without the consent of the holders of the Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock, become convertible into the kind of securities, cash and other property that such holder would have been entitled to receive if such holder had converted its Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior
to such reorganization event (such securities, cash and other property, the &#147;exchange property&#148;, with each &#147;unit of exchange property&#148; meaning the kind and amount of exchange property that a holder of one share of common stock is
entitled to receive), and, at the effective time of such reorganization event, we may amend the Certificate of Designations without the consent of the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock to provide for such change in the
convertibility of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, the type and amount of exchange property in the case of any reorganization event that causes our common stock to be converted into the right to receive more
than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of our common stock that affirmatively
make such an election (or of all holders of our common stock if none makes an election). We will notify holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The number
of units of exchange property for each share of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock converted or subject to acquisition termination redemption following the effective date of such reorganization event will be determined as if references to
shares of our common stock in the description of the conversion rate applicable upon mandatory conversion, conversion at the option of the holder and conversion at the option of the holder upon a fundamental change were to units of exchange property
(without any interest thereon and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon which have a record date prior to the date such Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock is actually converted). For the purpose of determining which bullet of
the definition of conversion rate will apply upon mandatory conversion, and for the purpose of calculating the mandatory conversion rate if the second bullet is applicable, the value of a unit of exchange property will be determined in good faith by
our board of directors or an authorized committee thereof (which determination will be final), except that if a unit of exchange property includes common stock or ADRs that are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, the value of such common
stock or ADRs will be the average over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 22nd scheduled trading day immediately preceding the mandatory conversion date of the volume-weighted average prices for such common stock
or ADRs, as displayed on the applicable Bloomberg screen (as determined in good faith by our board of directors or an authorized committee thereof (which determination will be final)); or, if such price is not available, the average market value per
share of such common stock or ADRs over such period as determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by us for this purpose. We (or any successor to us) will, as soon as
reasonably practicable (but in any event within 20 calendar days) after the occurrence of any reorganization event, provide written notice to the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of such occurrence and of the kind and amount of
cash, securities or other property that constitute the exchange property. Failure to deliver such notice will not affect the operation of the provisions described in this section. </FONT></P>

and other property, and the highest principal amount of the loan outstanding during a taxable year exceeds the fair market value of the real property on the date that we acquired or originated the mortgage loan, the interest income generally will be
apportioned between the real property and the other collateral, and our income from the arrangement will qualify for purposes of the 75% gross income test only to the extent that the interest is allocable to the real property.&nbsp;In certain cases,
personal property collateral that secures a loan may be treated as real property for purposes of the foregoing rules.&nbsp;Even if a loan is not secured by real property, or is under-secured, the income that it generates may nonetheless qualify for
purposes of the 95% gross income test.&nbsp;For these purposes, the term &#147;interest&#148; generally does not include any amount received or accrued, directly or indirectly, if the determination of all or some of the amount depends in any way on
the income or profits of any person.&nbsp;However, an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term &#147;interest&#148; solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We own, operate and lease shared wireless infrastructure, including: (1)&nbsp;towers and other structures, such as rooftops (collectively,
&#147;towers&#148;), and to a lesser extent, (2)&nbsp;distributed antenna systems, a type of small cell network, and (3)&nbsp;interests in land under third party towers in various forms (collectively, &#147;wireless infrastructure&#148;). As of
December&nbsp;31, 2014, we owned, leased or managed approximately 40,000 towers in the United States, including Puerto Rico (collectively, &#147;U.S.&#148;), and approximately 1,800 towers in Australia. As of December&nbsp;31, 2014, we owned,
including fee interests and perpetual easements, land and other property interests (collectively, &#147;land&#148;) on which approximately one-third of our site rental gross margin is derived, and we leased, subleased, managed or licensed the land
interests on which approximately two-thirds of our site rental gross margin is derived. Our customers include many of the world&#146;s major wireless communication services companies, including AT&amp;T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our core business is providing access, including space or capacity, to our wireless infrastructure via long-term contracts in various forms,
including license, sublease and lease agreements. Our wireless infrastructure can accommodate multiple tenants for antennas or other equipment necessary for the transmission of signals for wireless communication devices. We seek to increase our site
rental revenues by adding more tenants on our wireless infrastructure, which we expect to result in significant incremental cash flows due to our relatively fixed operating costs. Site rental revenues represented approximately 81% of our
consolidated net revenues and site rental gross margin represented approximately 88% of our consolidated gross margin for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our tower portfolios consist primarily of towers in various metropolitan areas. As of December&nbsp;31, 2014, approximately 56% and 71% of our
towers in the U.S. were located in the 50 and 100 largest U.S. basic trading areas, respectively, with a significant presence in each of the top 100 U.S. basic trading areas. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of our effort to provide comprehensive wireless infrastructure solutions, we offer certain network services relating to our wireless
infrastructure, predominately consisting of (1)&nbsp;installation of tenant equipment or subsequent augmentation and (2)&nbsp;the following additional site development services: site acquisition, architectural and engineering or zoning and
permitting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I></I></B>Our principal executive offices are located at 1220 Augusta Drive, Suite 600, Houston, Texas 77057, and our

to an investment in securities issued by Crown Castle described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date
of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider those risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus and any
prospectus supplement. If any of the events or developments described actually occurred, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing our
company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also affect our business operations. To the extent a particular offering implicates additional risks, we will include a discussion of
those risks in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>

statements, including those relating to future business prospects, revenues and income, wherever they occur in this prospectus or documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of our
senior management and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light
of various risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, including those set forth in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or

these securities to permit selling security holders to resell their securities when they deem appropriate. A selling security holder may resell all, a portion or none of their securities at any time and from time to time. We may register those
securities for sale through an underwriter or other plan of distribution as set forth in a prospectus supplement. See &#147;Plan of Distribution.&#148; Selling security holders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of some or all of their
securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. We may pay all expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the securities owned by the selling security holders, other than underwriting fees,

which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which these general provisions may apply to those debt securities will be described in the
prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the prospectus supplement relating thereto and to the following
description. As used in this section, &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our&#148; and &#147;us&#148; refer only to Crown Castle International Corp. and not to its consolidated subsidiaries. </I></P>

event that any series of debt securities will be subordinated to other indebtedness that we have outstanding or may incur, the terms of the subordination will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the subordinated debt securities.
Debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, or another trustee named in the prospectus supplement. A copy of the form of indenture has been filed as an
exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The following discussion of certain provisions of the indenture is a summary only and should not be considered a complete description of the terms and provisions of the
indenture. Accordingly, the following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the indenture, including the definition of certain terms used below. </P>

debt securities of a series, or any portion thereof, in either case having the same terms, including the same original issue date, date or dates on which principal and interest are due, and interest rate or method of determining interest. A global
security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary, which will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or
definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee
of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary, or by the depositary or any nominee of the depositary to a successor depositary or any nominee of such successor. </P>

dealers or underwriters with respect to such debt securities or, if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by us or through one or more agents, by us or such agents. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited
to participants or persons that hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the
depositary (with respect to interests of participants) or records maintained by participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery

By-laws, descriptions of which are summarized or otherwise incorporated within this prospectus, may have the effect, either alone or in combination with each other, of discouraging or making more difficult a tender offer or takeover attempt that is
opposed by our board of directors but that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interest. Such provisions may also adversely affect prevailing market prices for our capital stock. We believe that such provisions are necessary to enable us
to develop our business in a manner that will foster our long-term growth without disruption caused by the threat of a takeover not deemed by our board of directors to be in our best interests and those of our stockholders. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December&nbsp;15, 2014, in connection with adopting certain provisions in our Charter relating to our qualification as a real estate
investment trust (&#147;REIT&#148;), we completed a merger, whereby our predecessor company that was then named Crown Castle International Corp. (&#147;Predecessor Registrant&#148;) was merged with and into us and we continued as the surviving
entity. On May&nbsp;23, 2013, at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Predecessor Registrant, its stockholders approved an amendment to Article VII of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Predecessor Registrant
(&#147;Predecessor Charter&#148;) to declassify its board of directors and provide for the annual election of directors. Pursuant to the amendment, such declassification began phasing in commencing with the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders and
would have resulted in its board of directors being fully declassified (and all members of the board of directors standing for annual elections) commencing with the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. The Predecessor Charter amendment became
effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment of the Predecessor Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May&nbsp;24, 2013. The Charter contains substantially identical phasing in provisions with respect to a
declassified board of directors and, as such, our board of directors will be fully declassified commencing with the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Charter provides that any director, except for directors who may be elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock, may be
removed from office at any time, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class. However, any director serving in a class
of directors elected for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the election of such class of directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the voting power of the
then outstanding Voting Stock, voting together as a single class. &#147;Voting Stock&#148; is defined in the Charter as the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in a general vote of our stockholders as a single class with shares
of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>No Stockholder Action by Written Consent; Special Meeting </I></P>

only take action at an annual or special meeting called in accordance with the By-laws. The By-laws provide that special meetings of stockholders may only be called (a)&nbsp;by our secretary, chief executive officer or president at the direction of
our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board or (b)&nbsp;by the chief executive officer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These provisions could

directors, of candidates for election as directors. These procedures provide that the notice of stockholder proposals and stockholder nominations for the election of directors at an annual meeting must be in writing and received by our secretary at
least 90 days but not more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of our preceding year&#146;s annual meeting. However, if the date of our annual meeting is more than 30 days earlier than, or more than 90 days later than, the anniversary date
of our preceding year&#146;s annual meeting, notice by a stockholder will be considered timely if it is delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting
or the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made. The notice of nominations for the election of directors must set forth certain information concerning the stockholder giving the notice and each
nominee. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">By requiring advance notice of nominations by stockholders, these procedures afford our board of directors an opportunity to
consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and, to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by the board of directors, to inform stockholders about these qualifications. By requiring advance notice of other proposed business, these
procedures provide our board of directors with an opportunity to inform stockholders of any business proposed to be conducted at a meeting, together with any recommendations as to the board of directors&#146; position on action to be taken on such
business. This should allow stockholders to better decide whether to attend a meeting or to grant a proxy for the disposition of any such business. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To facilitate our continued qualification as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (&#147;Code&#148;), the Charter
contains ownership limitations and transfer restrictions on our capital stock. These ownership limitations and transfer restrictions could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change in control of us that might
involve a premium price for our capital stock or otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders. All certificates representing shares of capital stock bear a legend describing such ownership limitations and transfer restrictions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order for us to continue to satisfy the requirements for REIT qualification, our capital stock must be beneficially owned by 100 or more
persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). Also, not more than 50% of the value of the
outstanding shares of our capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer &#147;individuals&#148; (as defined in the Code to include certain entities such as private foundations) during the last half of a taxable year (other
than the first taxable year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). To satisfy these ownership requirements and other requirements for continued qualification as a REIT and to otherwise protect us from the consequences of a concentration
of ownership among our stockholders, the Charter contains provisions limiting the ownership and restricting the transfer of shares of our capital stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The relevant section of the Charter provides that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions described below, no person (as defined
in the Charter) may beneficially or constructively own, or be deemed to beneficially or constructively own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.8%, by value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the
outstanding shares of our common stock (which restriction we refer to as the &#147;common stock ownership limit&#148;), or 9.8% in aggregate value of the outstanding shares of all classes and series of our capital stock, including our common stock

constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause capital stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals or entities to be treated as owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of
less than 9.8% in value of our outstanding capital stock or less than 9.8% in value or number of our outstanding shares of common stock (including through the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, our common
stock) by an individual or entity could nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own, constructively or beneficially, in excess of 9.8% in value of our outstanding capital stock or 9.8% in value or number of
