When you think of Verizon FiOS, you likely think of big, tall towers with antennas sticking out of them. But did you know that Verizon pays landowners to put their towers on their property?
Verizon didn’t always have this policy. In fact, back in the 1990s, Verizon was actually sued by landowners who claimed that the company was coercing them into installing towers on their land.
But over the years, Verizon has come to see tower installation as a way to improve its FiOS service.
So does Verizon actually pay landowners to put towers on their property? Yes, in fact, Verizon pays landowners between $1,000 and $5,000 per tower installation. However, Verizon emphasizes that this money is not given in exchange for the land being used for the tower installation.
In fact, Verizon typically requires landowners to agree to certain conditions, such as maintaining the tower and antenna system.
