Questions about USC Telecommunication Services
1. Why should we choose USC to manage the antennas on our tank?
We offer dedicated personnel and other resources to actively market the tank as an antenna site. We negotiate the license agreement, oversee the construction phase, inspect the final installation and manage the accounting and related operational issues. You are free to continue your business as usual.

2. Why shouldn’t I contact the carriers directly?
Our focus is the best interest of your tank. Typically, carriers who want to use your tank as an antenna site work through consultants or site brokers, whose primary interest is securing the tank and earning a commission. We help by monitoring the terms of the agreements and protecting the interests of the tank owner while supporting the needs of the carrier(s).

3. How will the carriers’ installation affect my tank maintenance program?
Our Site Management Program guarantees the tank owner’s maintenance costs are not increased as a result of antenna installations for tanks under Utility Services Full Service Management Program.

4. How much revenue will my tanks generate?
So much depends on your tank location, the population density, the amount of equipment and ground space the carrier plans to use as well as the availability of alternative sites that there is no set amount. Individual carrier site fees can vary from hundreds of dollars to thousand of dollars per year. USC can help you realize the maximum revenue for your tanks.

5. What is the cost of the program?
There are no sign-up or up-front costs for this program. USC will retain a portion of the site fee revenue only after the site fee payments have commenced. There are no financial risks or costs incurred by the tank owner.
