In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed the Telecommunications Act. Around this time, development of the wireless communications industry was also intensifying. At Phillips Lytle, we realized that the deregulation of old monopolies, coupled with the dawn of new technologies, would create a flood of new competitors, investors, suppliers, and regulatory issues into the marketplace. We decided to mobilize our attorneys, pooling from a cross section of practice areas. In doing so, we created one of the most comprehensive telecommunications practices in all of New York State.
Today, Phillips Lytle’s Telecommunications attorneys represent some of the world’s largest companies, regional providers, large and small site owners and managers, as well as lenders and investors across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. Our clients include wireless and VoIP carriers, tower owners, developers, and property owners. We are also positioned to represent investors and operators of emerging broad band and WiMax technologies.
By assembling a multi-disciplinary team of attorneys, we are able to offer clients a full menu of services that can take ventures from inception to profitability. Our representation includes transactional and litigation matters; zoning and land use issues for wireless telecommunications carriers, tower owners and developers; local and national site leasing work for carriers, property owners and property managers; interconnection contracts for local exchange carriers; custom network service agreements for business customers; negotiation of private and municipal cable television franchise, access and service agreements; and cable piracy and franchise disputes for cable operators.
