Communication Ease

摘要

Building professionals are increasingly charged with juggling multiple telecommunications service providers on their properties. Following the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC's) decision in October 2000 to open commercial buildings to competing vendors, the emphasis has been placed squarely on consumer choice in the video, voice, and data services market. As building managers increasingly move their properties from single-provider to multi-provider environments, many continue to repeat old mistakes when signing video, voice, and data contracts. In particular, two mistakes always result in a decrease in property values: 1. Failure to limit the term of the contract. 2. Failure to address the disposition of wiring and equipment at the end of the contract.
