Disney Parks and AT&T are teaming up to improve coverage to park visitors by installing small cell technology at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts. This is in an effort to keep families connected while at the parks, as well as a way for guests to navigate through the park via WiFi service. “Specifically, AT&T will add more than 25 distributed antenna systems in an effort to add capacity. It will also add more than 350 small cells, which extend the availability of the network. AT&T is adding 10 new cell sites across the Walt Disney World resort to boost coverage and capacity. And it will add nearly 50 repeaters to help improve coverage of the network,” the CNET article said. But, is this really a fair “partnership” to Disney for the use of their land?
Vertical Consultants has worked with all types of property owners, from companies to individuals, who are being paid below-market value for the use of their land. The primary reason for this is the lack of information and representation provided for these entities. Ample information and representation from a true landowner advocate are key factors these industries need in order to optimize the use of their properties. Vertical Consultants has made its mission to provide our clients the data they need. While telecom companies have professionals on their side who know the true value of every tower site they control, property owners should have advocates working for them determining options to optimize their telecom assets.
