Site terminations are underway. Here’s how to stay ahead and reduce risk.
Boost’s exit from facilities-based network operations marks the end of an ambitious network build—and tower owners are left managing the aftermath.
AT&T is acquiring key 5G spectrum assets from Boost, marking a shift in Boost’s network strategy. Facing market pressure, Boost will wind down its network and move to a hybrid MVNO model that runs on AT&T’s infrastructure. While this is a strategic shift for Boost, it creates real operational consequences for landlords.
What’s Happening Now
Lease terminations and decommissioning will proceed under existing MLAs and site agreements. That means landlords—not Boost—must handle bulk terminations, equipment removal, and document reconciliation across tens of thousands of sites.
This isn’t a gradual rollout. Internal teams are already strained, and the requests are hitting in waves.
The Challenges TowerCos Face
- Legacy agreements skewed in Boost’s favor
- Disorganized lease records across portfolios
- Staff reductions limiting support and response quality
- Termination notices that may not align with contractual obligations
Towercos must answer three key questions at scale:
- What termination rights exist, and what notice periods apply?
- What decommissioning obligations does Boost have?
- Do incoming notices align with the master lease agreements and site-specific contracts?
How Inorsa Helps
Inorsa helps towercos reduce exposure, accelerate response times, and maintain control—across every phase of the termination cycle.
We help teams:
- Extract key terms from MLAs, SLAs, and amendments
- Match notices to the correct documents
- Flag errors or gaps for quick rejection or cure
- Deliver documentation to support dispute resolution and operational handoffs
With Inorsa, your team can respond faster and flag issues earlier—without drowning in manual reviews.
Why Now
AT&T is acquiring Boost’s 600 MHz and 3.45 GHz spectrum for $22.7B, signaling a major spectrum reallocation—and amplifying the urgency to validate and enforce obligations.
This is not a slow-moving issue—it’s already unfolding. Acting now ensures:
- Faster turnaround on obligations and disputes
- Reduced exposure from Boost-friendly terms
- Better positioning for potential modifications tied to AT&T’s spectrum buildout
