Sprint Corp is in the process of organizing funding in an effort to acquire T-Mobile USA, Inc. If this deal closes, at a price tag of $40 billion, it would merge the third and fourth largest mobile carriers in the US. This transaction will not only give Sprint the resources it needs to improve its wireless network, but it will also give them even more power in the wireless industry.
This will have an impact on cell tower lease owners who have existing cell tower leases on their properties. Proper representation is vital when re-negotiating or making changes to any telecom lease. Vertical Consultants has made its mission to provide clients with the data they need. While the mobile giants have professionals on their side who know the true value of every tower site they currently control and will soon be controlling due to this transaction, property owners should have advocates working for them to determine options to optimize their telecom assets.
