Come to our discussion of these interesting developments and their potential impact on the telecommunications industry

Communications Daily covered a recent webinar in which Members Scott Thompson, Angela Y. Kung, and Dan Reing discussed what the telecom industry will look like following the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overrule Chevron deference and how the decision will impact businesses. The article states: “While FCC rules aren't under immediate legislative threat, more frequent court challenges to its decisions are likely in a post-Chevron world, said wireless and wireline attorney Scott Thompson. He said that companies assume their processes and policies are within FCC guidelines, but now ‘the courts have been given a toolbox to potentially attack agency decisions.’” Read more here: https://bit.ly/3WmYv0V

We want to highlight the importance of obtaining an FCC License for your business-radio activities and the potential repercussions of operating without one. Importance of Having an FCC License: - Ensures spectrum allocation and prevents interference. - The legal requirement for regulatory compliance. - It enhances your company's credibility and reputation in the industry. Repercussions of Not Having an FCC License: - Risk of substantial fines. - Possible equipment seizure. - Legal actions, including injunctions. - Interference complaints lead to additional penalties. Compliance with FCC regulations is essential for a trouble-free and legally sound telecommunications operation.

Addressing lead-wrapped cables represents a serious challenge for telco operators, particularly as estimates for the costs associated with removing or remediating all lead-wrapped cables indicate it may cost almost $60 billion. While a formal decision from regulators may be a few years away, waiting to act until then is likely to be a costly mistake. Our experts discuss why telco companies should take a proactive approach and how to begin establishing efficient approaches to potential liabilities now to save trouble later:

Fierce Telecom recently reported on the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) groundbreaking decision to reform pole attachment rules, a move that promises to significantly impact broadband deployment. Key highlights include the establishment of a Rapid Broadband Assessment Team (RBAT) and clearer guidelines to expedite dispute resolution, enhance transparency in #broadband buildouts, and provide critical clarifications on issues like "red tagging" and pole replacement criteria. The FCC's strategic approach aims to streamline processes, offering internet service providers (ISPs) the opportunity for faster and more efficient deployment of high-speed internet. While industry responses are mixed, with Charter and NCTA applauding the move, USTelecom urges a balanced approach, emphasizing the need to consider fundamental business costs. ⚡ #FCC #poleattachments #regulatoryenvironment #policy
