Builders & Developers ... Let's Us Help You Plan Your New Construction Community
Broadband Agreement Specialists, Inc. provides comprehensive consulting and broker services on behalf of developers and builders, with regard to broadband access, marketing and bulk communications contract agreements and services. We're experienced project managers that negotiate class-leading residential telecommunications services under financially favorable terms for property owners!
With new emerging technologies, increased competition and regulatory changes, you have more technology and service choices for the communities you build and develop. Don’t assume that the proposal options offered by your local cable television or phone company providers are your only options. With new technologies delivering not only streaming Video, but Internet speeds of 1Gig+ via GPON, EPON, RFoG and DOCSIS 3.1, evaluating and selecting the right converged services technology and service provider becomes increasingly important. Make no mistake, your property planned for construction is important to cable, satellite and telco providers, and they ALL want to earn your business.
We suggest that you not sign proposed agreements without first evaluating your service and compensation options! We will help you evaluate your service needs and potential options at no cost to you. What’s more, we will also assist you by auditing any current agreements in your portfolio for lost revenue opportunities, and then we’ll work to secure agreements that will capitalize on those opportunities. Providing broadband agreement consulting services nationwide, we have an excellent track record and a solid reputation among our clients.
We negotiate and specialize in Comcast Xfinity® Marketing and Bulk Agreements, Charter Spectrum® Marketing and Bulk Agreements, COX® Communities Marketing and Bulk Agreements, AT&T TV® U-Verse® and Internet Fiber Marketing and Bulk Agreements, Frontier Communications® Marketing and Bulk Agreements, CenturyLink® Marketing and Bulk Agreements and MIDCO® Marketing and Bulk Agreements, as well as agreements with other major and regional telecommunications providers.

Virtually all multifamily and manufactured home communities need to have some form of telecommunications "access" or "easement" agreement in place, which will give forms of permission to providers to bring their cable, satellite, Internet and/or telephone services onto your community's private property. Even in "Mandatory Access States", service providers in many cases prefer to have a signed access agreement with the property owner, which presumably includes an easement and some form of marketing rights.
Working with service providers in your property's geographic area, we’ll focus on negotiating the services, financial and contractual arrangements that best meet the needs of your individual community. Below you will find some of the important issues, objectives and challenges addressed by builders and developers as they work to plan and negotiate their property telecommunications agreement arrangements:
Working with service providers in your property's geographic area, we’ll focus on negotiating the services, financial and contractual arrangements that best meet the needs of your individual community. Below you will find some of the important issues, objectives and challenges addressed by builders and developers as they work to plan and negotiate their property telecommunications agreement arrangements:
Agreements With Service Providers: Do you currently have proposals or plan to request proposals from any telecommunications providers? Don't sign them without checking with us first. Even if your agreements are not due to expire or renew for years to come, you still may have options!
Technology, Pricing & Owner Compensation: Are you interested in learning more about what new services are available or will be available for your new construction communities? We'll help you to evaluate how today’s new technologies can benefit and best fit the needs of your future residents. Traditional cable television, IPTV, satellite television, video streaming, 1Gig+ Internet, etc. These converged services can be a bit confusing to say the least. We will also help you to better understand the debate between Fiber vs. Coax, and the advantages and disadvantages of each product and technology as well. Our goal is to educate and empower you to ultimately make the best service and financial compensation decisions for your future community residents and asset management.
Cox Quick Connect, Comcast Xfinity WiFi Ready, CenturyLink Instant On, Verizon Pre-Installed, AT&T Instant On: Major Cable and Phone Companies are now offering Internet connectivity via WiFi-Ready apartment and townhome communities, where they will preinstall Internet Gateways in the residential units allowing for immediate wireless Internet access. Residents upon move-in can then easily subscribe to and activate their WiFi network connection through a smartphone, tablet or laptop without requiring additional equipment or technician visits to the unit. This simplified and contactless process of activation eliminates the need for an installation, simplifies and enhances the customer experience, and also results in increased Internet penetration which typically provides for a higher revenue-sharing commission payouts to the property owner. Residents can also increase or decrease their Internet speeds as needed remotely, again without an installation visit. It’s another amenity which helps to increase customer satisfaction and works to reduces your lease churn. This is the basis for today's connected communities and smart homes. Please ask us how we may negotiate your upcoming agreement to include pre-enabled, Move-In Ready WiFi Internet Services for your apartment, townhome or single family community.
Revenue-Sharing Relationships with Providers: Are you interested in obtaining a percentage or a greater percentage of the gross-revenues collected by your cable, satellite, Internet and phone service providers? Are signing bonus “access/door fees” important to you? We'll work to negotiate favorable financial compensation as part of your new service agreements. Our goal is to negotiate the inclusion of upfront door fees payments, on-going compensation commission revenue-sharing ("rev-share") commissions and common area "no-charge" courtesy services TV, Internet and Wi-Fi with our negotiated agreements.
Private Property Rights and Service Provider Rights to Enter Your Communities: Do you know which telecom service providers may already have contractual rights to provide services your new construction community? You need to know the status of your property rights, or you may be missing out on tens of thousands of dollars of financial compensation per property. (Private property easement and access rights vary by state and in "Mandatory Access States").
New Construction Telecommunications Infrastructure Planning: Does your property construction plan already include internal wiring and/or fiber specifications? Are your confident that the structured wiring specifications in your plan are correct, in order to align with the telecommunications provider technologies, as well as the services they will ultimately deliver to your residents? Part of the proposal request process is not only to negotiate the financials, but to also work to determine the infrastructure requirements which will be provided by the various service providers. We'll work with our client owner, their engineer planner, their low voltage contractor, and the service provider(s) to facilitate an alignment between what the service provider is willing to include under their negotiated agreement and what the property owner client will ultimately need to specify and build into the property during the construction process. Simply put, our goal is to align the needs of our client with the delivery by the selected provider(s) and work to get the selected provider(s) to pay for and compensate our client owner to the greatest extent possible.
Are Your Interested in Obtaining "Added Value" Services as Part of Your Service Agreements?: Clubhouse Cable Service, Gate Cameras, Community Channels, Common Area Wi-Fi Hot Spots. These are services of great interest to today’s connected communities, and we will work with service providers to make them a part of your new or renewal service agreement arrangement.
Regulatory Changes That Have Increased Your Options: With the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order banning the use of exclusivity clauses for the provision of video services to multiple dwelling units (MDUs) or other real estate developments, new service options for your communities may now exist that were not permissible prior to the FCC order. This FCC order may have an impact on your current agreements, even if they have not yet expired or are not due to expire in the near future! Local, state and federal regulations are ever-changing, and we're here to help. > FCC 07-189 Announcement Kevin J. Martin Statement
