Aug. 14 Scheduling Conference Set in American Tower’s Case vs. SpeedConnect

U.S. Magistrate Judge Kato Crews for Colorado in Denver set an Aug. 14 telephone scheduling conference for 10:30 a.m. MDT in American Tower’s breach of contract lawsuit against SpeedConnect, said the judge’s text-only order Wednesday (docket 1:23-cv-01336). American Tower alleges SpeedConnect, provider of wireless internet services to small towns and rural communities in Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Montana and South Dakota, owes it and 13 of its subsidiaries more than $2.89 million in unpaid rent and license fees (see 2305300003). The allegedly unpaid fees are from 60 license agreements that enabled SpeedConnect to install and operate telecommunications equipment on multiple cell towers owned and operated by American Tower.
