If you host mobile infrastructure , this affects you — and you’re not alone.
What You Need to Know
The most important changes shaping agreements, income, and cooperation.
What’s Happening
Policy changes since 2017 reduced mast rents, increased disputes, and weakened cooperation between operators and landowners. A new law risks deepening the problem.
Who This Affects
Farmers, rural site hosts, building owners, councils, and community groups — anyone hosting mobile infrastructure or relying on mast income.
Why Your Experience Matters

“A significant number of site providers are considering walking away — connectivity will suffer… but landowners do not feel listened to.”
