QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE REGARDING USCCI’S TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES?
1. Why should we choose USCCI to manage the antennas on our tank?
First of all, Utility Service Company, Inc., the holding company of Utility Service Communications co., inc. is the recognized leader of water tank maintenance with thousands of tanks under preventative maintenance programs. We guarantee that the primary purpose of the tank is never forgotten, the quality and safety of the stored water is not compromised, and the maximum potential is realized from the tank as an antennae site.
USCCI has invested in personnel, equipment and technical support to actively market the tank as an antennae site. We prepare the license agreement, install the antennae, inspect, manage the accounting and oversee the site. You are free to continue your business as usual.
2. Why shouldn’t I contact the antennae owners directly?
Typically, the businesses that have interest in using your tank as an antennae site work through consultants of site brokers. Their primary interest is securing the tank as an antennae site and earning a commission for that work. They don’t always have the best interest of your tank at heart. USCCI closely monitors the contract to protect the interest of the tank owner while supporting the needs of the site user.
3. How much revenue will my tanks generate?
There is no set amount. So much depends on your tank location, the population density, the number of antennae users in the area and alternative sites. Individual antennae rates can vary from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars per year. USCCI can help you realize the maximum rates for your tanks.
4. How will antennas affect my tank maintenance program?
USCCI’s Antennae Management Program ensures the tank owner’s costs are not increased as a result of antennae installation for tanks under Utility Services Maintenance Program. USCCI will work to minimize any increased maintenance costs and should an increase be necessary, it will be considered in the negotiation with the antennae owner.
5. What is the cost of the program?
There are no sign-up or up-front costs for this program. USCCI 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.
