American Tower Sues to Collect $2.89M in Unpaid Fees From SpeedConnect

SpeedConnect, provider of wireless internet services to small towns and rural communities in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana and South Dakota, owes American Tower and 13 of its subsidiaries more than $2.89 million in unpaid rent and license fees under 60 license agreements that enabled SpeedConnect to install and operate telecommunications equipment on multiple cell towers owned and operated by American Tower, alleged a breach of contract complaint Thursday (docket 1:23-cv-01336) in U.S. District Court for Colorado in Denver. SpeedConnect “retained all of the benefits conferred” by the license agreements without compensating American Tower “for the value of those benefits,” it said. The suit seeks the recovery of the unpaid fees, plus 18% interest per annum and attorneys’ costs.
