Communications Law Bulletin, May 2009

The Month in Brief

As we go to press, maneuvering continues over key appointments at the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC" or "Commission") and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration ("NTIA"), and the FCC has just released a report outlining its policy for bringing greater broadband deployment to rural America. The rural broadband report will be discussed at greater length in the next issue of our Bulletin. The FCC and NTIA developments, other news from across the entire spectrum of wireline and wireless communications, and a look at the trend of telecommunications network outsourcing are covered here, along with our usual list of deadlines for your calendar.
