Bottom Feeders.
Parasites.
Wireless Bandits.
Dealing with the riff-raff of cellphone tower lease renegotiation firms.
Even with massive changes in cellular technology, there isn’t a decreased need or need for reduced cell sites. With every new subscriber available bandwidth shrinks and the need for capacity grows. Granted due to industry consolidation in RARE instances a carrier like Sprint or ATT might need to take down a tower because of redundancy. BUT they won’t keep a site online if it’s not serving a purpose.
However several unnamed wireless companies “blitz” cell site owners on a massive scale with guerilla marketing tactics, bulk mailings and telemarketers. These companies are supposed to use certified mail for any lease-related notification, not prepaid bulk mail. Anytime one of these bottom-feeding wireless parasites masquerading as a wireless industry experts tries to enter into unauthorized cell tower lease re-negotiations as defined by the terms of the very leases they are are trying to “optimize”, I advise property owners to refer these firms to their Attorney General or to the FCC. That usually stops the harassment.

Remember – most of these so-called cell tower consultants are new to the wireless industry or were stock brokers of used car salesmen previously and are not wireless leasing experts. Don’t let them use thug tactics to bully you out of your rent.
