Telecommunications

Foster Swift provides comprehensive counsel to telecommunications companies, industry associations, municipalities, and internet service providers on all aspects of telecommunications matters. Those matters include issues related to state and federal regulations, including the Michigan Telecommunications Act, the federal Telecommunications Act, and related state and federal rules; state and federal confidential proprietary network information laws; FCC matters; interconnection agreements; and general business matters.

Our representation on telecommunications matters includes handling a variety of matters before the Michigan Public Service Commission, such as comment and contested cases, cost study cases, telecommunications license applications, telecommunications license expansion applications, eligible telecommunications carrier (ETCs) reports and requests, CLEC and ILEC matters, 2-1-1 applications; and disputes involving telecommunications issues.

Foster Swift also has extensive experience reviewing, drafting, and negotiating telecommunications-related leases between public and private entities, including cell tower leases. Our familiarity with cell tower leases renders us well-suited to offer sound advice in handling those issues for a wide variety of clients.
