A CALL TO ARMS: in search of Landlord Stocks

I have been studying like a busy little mickbee lately
trying to learn about upcoming energy winners
but also thinking as I have been for months about a theme

95% of american millionarie$ made their fortune with REAL ESTATE
the concept is transferrable to other businesses

American Tower (AMT) might be building a locked wireless landlord business as we speak, with a dominant market share of north american towers almost completely covering our entire continent
they are building and buying up towers from carriers
then renting the same towers to other carriers efficiently
they will benefit from saturation resistance later
real hard to get towers approved in many communities
their overhead costs are low
their return on investment is high
strong similarity to community and highway billboards

VeriSign (VRSN) might be building an internet landlord business as we speak, with a monopoly on domain registration and a dominant market share with commerce encryption
so they are the internet landlord who sells bestinbreed "keys"
they are ready for the exploding internet commerce phenomenon

I love the Landlord Theme
"build it and they must rent"

can anyone think of OTHER landlord theme stocks out there?

where competitors will have an impossible time catching up?
where recurring income is the order of the day?
where rents can rise in time?
I dont mean patented IP like with CDMA and QCOM
I dont mean gorilla owned and dominated sectors
I mean Landlords owning limited land, space, air, software, media

ideas will be appreciated
I believe all Landlord Theme stocks are easy 20-baggers
with the potential of large dividend income later
or else simple vertical integration subsidized expansion

unlike gorillas, landlords are not easily displaced by "discontinuous" innovation
case in point, eventually Microsoft will be less relevant

thanks for any ideas
