Broadband

HMS Legal has zealously advocated on behalf of clients regarding broadband matters in Pennsylvania since the initial passage of Chapter 30 of the Public Utility Code in 1993. HMS Legal continues to represent broadband providers, as well as cellular carriers that provide broadband services. We also have considerable experience in pole attachment issues and other deployment concerns.

HMS Legal also represents local organizations that seek to raise money and initiate deployment of broadband in the many rural areas of Pennsylvania. HMS Legal offers a comprehensive broadband legal practice to assist clients through the entire spectrum of the broadband business, from seeking required approvals from the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, writing grant proposals, and assisting in contract due diligence.
