 List of masts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A mast is a man-made support structure, commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, or on land as radio masts and towers used to support telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas ("aerials" in the UK).
Most of the taller masts are located in the United States, where a prevalence of masts of around 2000 feet (609.6 m) in height is the result of special rules in that country limiting structures and objects taller than 2000 feet.
The Petronius Compliant Tower is an oil platform standing 2100 ft or 640 m (to the top of the spire) and is the tallest non-guyed structure in existence but is mostly underwater.

 Dish Network loses distant stations on Dec. 1 | Digital TV Facts: The Latest
The satellite TV company’s parent, EchoStar Communications, lost a last-minute appeal in federal court this week, sending an estimated 800,000 Dish customers scrambling to replace the distant network channels.
Why should they be allowed to get all these channels and satellite TV subscribers, who also pay for the “priviledge” of receiving what are essentially free channels, off air,be blocked by the broadcasting industry.
The whole regulatory scheme is kind of antiquated, in my opinion, because it’s still designed around where broadcast towers are located, and yet only about 15 percent of viewers even watch TV over the air (with an antenna) anymore.
