Someone climbed a 300-foot tower so your phone works today. Happy Labor Day to the crews who keep the network up! 🗼

This month's ugly tower 🗼🙃

Granted - not the ugliest unipole out there - but this one is near where we used to live in Fort Myers and just annoys me. Sits over a marina in South Fort Myers, and has been ugly for quite some time. I understand that Section 6409 prevents municipalities from stopping the larger canisters. I get that in many cases, the manufacturers and carriers don’t want to paint or cover C-band panels. But does that prevent the tower owner from painting the coax or covering it?

This is the threat I think about most, and the one the industry is least prepared to discuss honestly.

Carriers have always had a significant information advantage over landowners. They know their network plans, their alternatives, their walk-away points, and the relative value of every site in their portfolio. Landowners typically know none of this. That asymmetry is the reason firms like ours exist — to narrow the gap on behalf of the people who own the land.

Artificial intelligence is about to widen that gap dramatically.

Agreeing on a price and signing an LOI is the easy part of a cell tower lease buyout transaction. What happens next is a 3-to-5-month process in which the specific language of your Letter of Intent (LOI) will determine whether you actually get to closing — and how much you walk away with. Most landowners are not prepared for it.

Find the link in the comments below - it's all you need to know before you say yes to an offer.

If a tower company offers a cell tower lease revenue share, it generally sounds like a bonus. In practice, it is usually a distraction — used by tower companies, carriers, and lease buyout companies to shift the conversation away from what your lease is actually worth.

This guide explains the key questions every landowner should ask before agreeing to — or walking away from — any revenue-share proposal 👉 https://bit.ly/4fgiJCX
