Cell Towers, Cancer and other Health Risks

This Podcast episode refers to an article carried yesterday by the Associated Press regarding a study in Denmark of a large number of cell phone users and the numbers who wound up getting cancer.

Kevin Donohue, CEO of TSS Wireless, a leading cellular industry consulting firm, discusses the problem of the public's perception of the wireless telecommunications, the fears some people have, and the poor job the cellular carriers have historically done to properly educate the public.

TSS Wireless wants to inform municipalities that over the next decade, nearly 100,000 new cell towers will need to be constructed in the United States in addition to the 170,000 that already exist to meet the capacity needs of the booming wireless communication industry. Understanding the safety concerns people have and the actual health risks of using cellular technology will continue to be an uphill battle for cellular carriers unless they change their current PR strategy.

Disturbing Wireless Industry Leasing Trends

Recent Wireless Leasing Trends...

Cell phone service providers are in business to make money. Cell towers generate a lot of income for people who lease property to the carriers because they provide us a valuable service. Unfortunately over the past year we have noticed a disturbing trend among some cell phone carriers.

Select wireless carriers have contracted third party vendors to send out letters and contact private wireless landlords and municipalities regarding their cell tower leases. The cellular companies have been telling landlords through their vendors that they need to renegotiate because the tower is "underperforming" and they want a reduced rental or they will walk away from the property.

Because of recent wireless industry mergers, cell tower landlords have been approached and often bullied into renegotiating their rents due to "industry consolidation". Property owners and municipalities experiencing difficulties with cellular carriers should not hesitate to contact TSS-Wireless.com at 845-359-5300 and speak with Kevin Donohue, our resident cell tower leasing expert consultant. Mr. Donohue has successfully negotiated thousands of cell tower leases over the past two decades.

Don't We Have Enough Cell Towers?

The simple answer is no, we don't have enough cell towers in North America. And actually, compared to many European countries, the wireless network in the USA is lagging several years behind. For example, a country like Hungary where people had to wait 20 years for the national phone monopoly MATAV to install a land line until 1989, now has a wireless network far superior to that of the USA's.

As the wireless indusrty grows, there will be a huge increase for additional wireless coverage for existing coverage areas and in rural regions where there is little or no cell phone service to meet growing capacity and demand.

TSS Wireless wants to inform municipalities that over the next decade, nearly 100,000 new cell towers will need to be constructed in the United States in addition to the 170,000 that already exist to meet the capacity needs of the booming wireless communication industry. That doesn't include the expansion and upgrades that will needed to be performed on existing cell sites.
