Black Dot – Who Are They?


407.476.3838



Black Dot Wireless describes themselves as an internationally recognized leader in lease management (aka lease optimization), and as being the pioneers of the first expense reduction “lease optimization” program for wireless carriers across the United States and abroad. These programs have one goal, and it is to substantially reduce wireless carrier and tower company operations expense.

Black Dot has, and continues to, work on behalf of companies like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Sprint, with their primary focus these days being on behalf of AT&T.

 Black Dot primarily contacts property owners for the following:

Lease Extension Requests: Black Dot will contact property owners who have leases with wireless carriers, and those leases have five (5) years or less remaining on the current lease term.

Rent Reduction Requests: Black Dot will contact a property owner and request that they drastically reduce current rents being paid under the current cell site lease agreement. Black Dot will often make the property owner aware that if such request is not granted, the current lease will be terminated in the foreseeable future.

Lease Term Modification: Black Dot is now in the business of requesting non-monetary revisions to the a property owner’s current lease, including, but not being limited to, the right to increase the leased area in the future, restrictions on a property to be able the sell the lease or the property where the tower resides, or, in some cases, limiting the property owner from collecting certain expenses associated with the tower being on his/her property.

If you have been contacted by Black Dot, we would caution you before agreeing to anything being presented.

1031 Exchange

WWW.CELLTOWERHELP.COM ALEX F. BLASSCYK - PRESIDENT & CEO 407.476.3838 1031 Exchange Helping our clients save money on their taxes is part of our job at Main Stream Telecom II, LLC. A 1031 exchange is one of the ways we achieve that goal. Instead of just selling your lease (referred to as a lease assignment), which will likely result in a capital gains tax bill for you, you can defer this tax by granting an easement around your cell tower site. But wait a minute. If a 1031 exchange is about selling one property and buying another, how can you participate by selling your cell tower lease? The answer is by placing an easement under the cell tower site (which can simply mirror the existing easement, if there is one), it turns your cell tower lease sale into a real property sale, generally making it eligible for a 1031 exchange. Having an easement generally does not affect your ownership of the land, including your ability to sell it. Section 1031 of the Internal R...

Renegotiate On Your Terms

Maybe, you’ll accept the rent reduction and barely make ends meet. You can figure it out. Wait. Why just settle? This is a renegotiation. This can go two ways. You get a say in this, too. So. You hit up the ever trusty google and start researching what your options are. Click and click again, every site and post and article is directed to how the carrier or tower company is justified in wanting to reduce costs. They have a bottom line and it doesn’t matter who they step on to get to it. What about your bottom line? Who’s out there advising the little guy? How come your bott...
