As the commercial real estate industry evolves, so too will the Internet and wireless networking. By 2022, it is expected that the number of U.S. smart phone users will climb to 271 million. As this happens, telecom providers must add capacity, and tower companies will provide them with infrastructure to support that capacity. This should present some unique opportunities for commercial property owners to pursue additional revenue channels.

Globest.com asked Matthew Kwasman, an attorney with Nason, Yeager, Gerson, White & Lioce, P.A., which has offices in Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton, FL to address some of the issues affecting the telecomm space. Kwasman has significant experience representing both tower companies and property owners in transactions involving the purchase, sale and lease of real property focused on the placement of telecom infrastructure. Before joining the firm, he was a supervising attorney at the American Tower Corporation, where his practice focused on protecting the legal affairs of ATC, the largest telecommunication tower operator in the United States.
