Network Infrastructure and Buildout

We offer advice and representation on a host of matters for service providers to build and plan efficient and cost-effective networks. Regulatory opportunities and obligations for network buildouts include:

  • FCC regulations to expedite local permitting and zoning approval of wireless and fiber facilities, and limits on actions by local authorities denying or imposing unreasonable conditions on requests for approval.

  • State or local right-of-way approvals for build-out of telecommunications and broadband networks on or under public streets and property.

  • State and federal utility pole attachment rights for aerial fiber networks and placement of wireless antennas.

  • FCC and FAA approvals and registrations for construction of wireless towers and other antenna structures.

  • FCC compliance and approvals under federal environmental and historic preservation rules for construction of wireless towers and other antenna structures.
