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 Airwave Management at 888-313-9750 and speak with Steve Kazella, our resident cell tower leasing expert consultant, and all-round nice guy. Mr. Kazella has successfully negotiated more cell tower leases over the past decade than 4 out of 5 cell tower consultants who chew sugarless gum.
