Cell Tower Lease

[Industrial Toys]

Get a lawyer and he is the only one going to make any money. USUALLY, there is not that much money involved. Also, a big difference from cell site to Internet provider. Here for the ISP, you pretty much just get FREE Internet!

It all depends on the value of the site. How much revenue they can generate from it. If you are the ONLY one in town with a high building, or have the only big hill around, you are in a better position. If they have options, then you can't ask for much.

Some say, 5G will fry us all.

Things are definitely different here. These are very nice sources of revenue. The low ball buyouts I've seen are multiple hundreds of thousands. This is in an area open for many sites to have towers.

get an attorney -I have told this story before

a big farmer thought he was a business man. he had a cell tower and the lease expired and the phone company came by to renew the lease.

great, he says, but the cost is going up. he said they never blinked, just handed him the papers and walked out. he now owned a cell tower in a flight path that he had to maintain. and no one wanted it. the phone company put up a new tower with in months about a quarter mile away.

Cell service is fine here...and we don't have to see flashing lights and towers. We only have one skyline.

Nope. Actually more than half your county has no internet access. The county administrator says that it's their number one priority to fix and will need ten new towers to be built. I suppose you'll be trying to fight the new towers and keep the folks around you from getting internet access, because your view is more important?

Also imho it's analogous to lots of things considered safe then years later repercussions.
If you want the best cell service at a low cost at the expense of towers everywhere, radiation exposure 24/7, that's fine for you but not for me.

Your fear is irrational. It's easy to educate yourself about radiation (especially ionizing vs. non-ionizing) and it's effects on people since you have internet access (unlike many others in your area). You can start with these:

Your reasoning is fouled up...no offence.
We were not against cell service. We were against 200+ ft tall towers with lights.
We got along fine before?!?
So they have to install more shorter towers.
In 1965 tobacco was considered safe, as well as DDT, agent orange, etc.
So you trust the radiation statistics? Really?

We are not far away,, if a cell tower guy came up the driveway,, and asked about installing a tower,,
I would ask him where he wanted to put it,,
and,, that I would have the graveled road to the tower site completed by Monday,,, :thumbsup:

AND, I do have the perfect elevation for the installation,,,

No need for that, they like to make their own road and parking areas. No charge to you and you can use their driveway as a field entrance anytime you want to.

Find an attorney who specializes is such leases. Insist on revenue sharing; we get a cut of every carrier (except the first) that uses the tower. Take them up on the offer; it's like owning your very own money tree.

Check archives this was discussed a few months ago. One was going to be installed 1/4m in front of our porch...a 200ft one with flashing light.

I lived on a peaceful lake for many years and it was great being out on it at night. Three or four miles away was the local airport and between the lake and airport, there was a high tension power line. Regulations must have changed because one day, five or six electric towers near the airport had flashing lights on them. Being out on the lake at night after that was never the same.

Great example of how technology can and does affect people.
The 200ft tower proposed but we had rejected the landowner saw dollar signs without regard to the effect on other's lives.
This tower would have been less than 100 feet from an adjoining neighbor's house!
The proposed site all that owner said he was thinking of was putting his kids through college...free.
Everything in life one should weight out the impact. Here we have choices for service, fiber optic cable, wired (existing phone) service, cell or satellite. Personally I have Straight Talk $25/ month. Last year we drove all across the US to Palos Verdes, Ca. never lost signal (yes...going all back roads). We only lost service when crossing into Mexico.
I'm in process of building a large horse barn. Legally I could put it anywhere I want...but I wanted neighbor's approval installed so as not to interfere with their views, etc.
It's a matter of priorities. If you want the best man-made services, internet, restaurants, etc., move to a big city.
