hear hear. I totally agree with you. I have very little experience with
Insurance, but mine is a million dollar policy we use for towers and
other reasons. Its about $100 a month. I'm sure there's a specialized
insurance company that likely does this. Anyone have a contact at
American Towers? Perhaps they can point us to an 'industry' insurance
company or 3.

at the FCC level. Then we get good stuff from the FCC and WISPs rule
the world. *Right Brain* Lets do what we can to get more Principal
Members.

From an Insurance agent I am dealing with for ISPs and CLECs:
Hi Peter:
At this level of premium there is really not much that can be done.
Insurance carriers typically set "minimum pemiums" for certain
policies even where risk of loss is relatively minor. E+O is an
example of this.
At $1,250, the coverage is probably very limited and that is the
bare minimun the carreir will accept to take on that risk whether
the client does $10,000 per year or $250,000.
Unfortunately, it's really not worth the effort on either parties
part to try and shave five hundred dollars or 10% from a ~$5,000
overall program.
This is especially true of they are actually looking for real coverage.
It;s like everything else. You really do get what you pay for.
These policies will have so many exclusions that actually getting a
claim paid would be the exception rather than the rule. Plus they
are likely placed with relatively [financially] weak carriers.
My value to your clients would be in the area of making their
insurance budget more efficent in terms of providing better coverage
with stronger carriers. My guess is that clients that are
generating revenue of
>$1Mil per annum would be the minimum threshold where I can actually
accomplish some good.

I'm interested in group insurance. Been talking to United (through
wispinsurance.com) and could use better rates .. this is what
we've been
offered:
$2,128 general liability & property +
$700 umbrella +
$250 "program administration charges" +
$1,250 professional E&O (optional) +
$250 E&O administration charges (optional) +
$250 Healthy & Safety Manual (maybe optional).
The coverage includes two tower locations with $50k and a premium
of $585.
And what is "Fungi Limited Business Interruption"? In case I eat
a quarter
of mushrooms and trip balls for a month?
Best,
