Cingular to take lease reduction negotiations in house?

We heard a unsubstantiated rumor that Cingular is planning on pulling back the AT&T and Cingular cell site lease optimization program contracts back from Black Dot Wireless and MD7 and doing their own lease renegotiation in-house. There has been no formal press release to this effect and if you are still being contacted by MD7 or Blackdot Wireless- then perhaps they have some time to finish up loose ends or there is no truth to this rumor.

If this rumor is real, then we applaud (loudly). Don’t have someone else do your dirty work on a commission basis- and don’t have someone else mislead or use scare tactics to renegotiate YOUR leases with YOUR landowners. Have the *&@#*& to do it yourself.
