CELL PHONE TOWER INFOJun 18, 2009


I am currently on the board of directors in a COOP in Brooklyn. If any one has information on companies that help with Cell Phone Towers and WIFI please post it. I have already contacted US Cellular and 3G solutions. I know this is great way to raise money for a CO-OP.

thanks

How is it great? - Jack in Brooklyn Jun 26, 2009


In my experience it may not be worth the rent. I've been in 2 buildings with cell tower experience, in the first there was so much rancor that for the first time there were enough people to hold a special election and almost unseated the board when they had towers installed and the residents, especially on the top floors where not told or asked. In the second case the issue was just dropped for fears of the same happening. So before moving on this you should get buy in from at least the people on the top floor

That said there are cell tower brokers that know who is buying nad how to market you and get you the best price, and as I recall it wasn't that great

Cell towers - Board Prez Jul 02, 2009


We have a large roof space with excellent exposure; however last year we rejected offers from one of the major mobile providers. Even after refusing the first offer and having them redesign the unsightly antennae that they originally proposed, their subsequent offer was nowhere near enough to warrant the potential political rancor that Jack in Brooklyn also described.

There is a lot of misinformation out there about the effects of RF and having an engineering background, I am not particularly concerned. However, no matter what evidence you may present to the contrary, you are unlikely to convince those living on the top floor that they should not be concerned. I agree with Jack - it's not worth it.
