We have decades-long experience in wireless technology, regulation and technology, both here and abroad. Our transactional experience includes negotiation of Distributed Antenna System (DAS), interconnection, collocation, data center, Wi-Fi, mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), satellite and network buildout agreements. Representative clients have included major wireless providers, fortune 500 companies, a global travel agency, a leading provider of corporate housing, the largest U.S. stock exchange, and a “state-of-the art” stadium.
Our regulatory experience includes representation of clients before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and state public service commissions. Representative matters include federal and state approvals for control transfers, mergers, acquisitions, and financing, as well as universal service fund (USF) compliance, and equipment certification. We also assist clients with dispute resolution, consent decree negotiation, and complaint proceedings before the FCC and other regulatory agencies.
In recent years, we have assisted clients with new technology matters such as the Internet of Things (IOT), and “5G” spectrum usage.
We have also represented numerous competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), able companies, shared tenant service, building access, providers, data center and fiber providers. Our state regulatory practice is concentrated on the State of Georgia and the Georgia Public Service Commission, with emphasis on entry regulation and control transfer approvals.
