To assist cities and the industry negotiate terms that balance protection of the local right of way and the needs of wireless infrastructure companies to locate wireless infrastructure, GMA has developed a model Master Right-of-Way License Agreement with Mobilitie, LLC.

This agreement was negotiated by Greg Fender, GMA’s technical consultant for the GMA Telecommunications and Right of Way Management Services program (TRM), in cooperation with Mobilitie LLC, a wireless infrastructure company, on behalf of GMA and Georgia’s cities. The agreement may be used by cities as a template or guideline when negotiating terms with Mobilitie, LLC. It should be used as a starting point to begin negotiations with the company. 
 
The agreement imposes reasonable safeguards on the placement and maintenance of wireless equipment and facilities in the ROW while also addressing reasonable compensation to be paid by Mobilitie for its use of the ROW. Equally important, the License Agreement will provide a level of consistency between license agreements with cities, as well as streamline and expedite Mobilitie’s access to the ROW.
