[Commotion-discuss] liability insurance for rooftop wireless installations?

[Ben West]

Well, this does certainly answer a rather burning question I've had about
scattering small rooftop antenna rigs on other people's rooftops around
town.  Thank you.

Ben, could speak to any expectations you've encountered from your insurance
carrier about antenna mounting equipment that can be used?  That is, has
your carrier indicated whether they tend to prefer clients only using
off-the-shelf tripods, brackets, lightning grounding units, etc, or if
they've shown some tolerance for DIY gear?

Cheers!
