GTCO-ATL Writes to Crown Castle for Answers

April 12, 2013

Hi there,

I am just writing to inquire about whether or not Crown Castle took over the contracts that were signed by T-mobile and the DeKalb County School System in 2011?  We have several communities that are concerned because no one has alerted them to any format for public notice or a zoning hearing which they would normally expect by law.

T-mobile did not provide notice to those residents that would be affected and they did not secure permits during the contracted due diligence periods. We believe the contracts with all except possibly one school are now invalid.  The last school did not have T-mobile sign the deal, so we believe it is not valid either.

Can you provide any information regarding whether or not these sites are now under Crown Castle and, if so, what you plan to do with them?  There was considerable controversy in DeKalb County over this issue and the corruption of the school board was exposed more recently which led to the Governor of Georgia actually removing them from office and replacing them with appointed temporary board members.

We just wanted to advise you of the sensitivity to this issue in hopes that your company will be more upfront in the way you elect to handle the public relations issues.  The public would simply like to know the truth and the process that will be followed under the correct due process of law.

Thank you for your time in looking into this matter,
