Communications and IT

Broadband infrastructure development is a key component of the Recovery Act.  The Recovery Act contains $7.2 billion of new spending on broadband infrastructure deployment and related broadband matters, which will be administered by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and the Rural Utility Service (RUS), a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).  Akin Gump’s communication and information technology team is poised to assist clients with identifying opportunities and obtaining funds and grants under the Recovery Act, as well as navigating the regulatory and compliance hurdles associated with these funds. 

The communications industry, encompassing information technology and numerous existing and emerging channels and media, is both an industry unto itself and a powerful driving force behind the business world at large. Business today depends on information infrastructure-including many new and innovative ways to support and deliver vital business and consumer intelligence. Facing complex regulatory, market and competitive challenges, today’s communications leaders require counsel experienced in a wide range of industries, practices, markets and courts, on both the domestic and international fronts. The communications practice at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP is committed to providing experienced, effective, results-oriented representation. With power, purpose and precision, we help to communicate a clear path to success. Then we help to guide the way, creating new opportunities for our clients and the vital communications channels, technologies and programs they support.
