Land Use

Regulatory Compliance
Telecommunications providers are subject to a complex set of federal, state, and local regulations. Some providers must obtain federal or state certification and publish tariffs before starting operations while others are unregulated and require no licensing or regulatory approval. Some types of transactions cannot finalize without regulatory approval. Specific regulatory status is required for access to public rights of way, interconnection agreements, and pole attachments. iCommLaw assists clients in navigating the confusing regulatory maze from start-up requirements, to mature stage compliance issues, at the state and federal levels.
