This is not always correct.  My Rohn 65G guy brackets 
http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/roh-ga65gd only attach to one leg.

Guys should NOT attach directly to the tower legs! This weakens the tower,
by applying a lateral force to only one leg. ROHN has a guy attachment
saddle that fits AROUND the tower. The saddle absorbs lateral forces,
while vertical forces are transferred to the tower. Look at the ROHN site
for proper guy attachment.
