Are There Standard Forms of Access Agreements?
There is no “standard form” for an access agreement, although some providers and telco managers have their own forms they prefer to use. Some owners prefer to use their own form of lease or license agreement, with appropriate modifications. Others will negotiate a form tailor-made for each provider. Telco managers should have experience in dealing with many forms of access agreements, and may have their own forms. Other forms may be available (for a price) from on-line services or law libraries. Other resources for forms could include communications consultants and lawyers who are familiar with leases and access agreements.
