In The News

The Broadband Law Group (BBLG) is a preeminent boutique compliance law firm specializing in broadband, communications, and federal technology and infrastructure grant programs and public private partnership opportunities, including those funded under the FCC Universal Service Programs, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Services (RUS). We take a client centric approach when accessing the right experts and resources to deliver cost-effective, critical-path solutions and strategies that our clients need to make key decisions that affect their outcomes, budgets, and future growth.

E-Rate

The federal Schools and Libraries Universal Service Program, known as E-Rate, helps make advanced communications and information services, Internet access, internal connections, and managed internal broadband services accessible and affordable to schools and libraries across our nation.

FCC Programs

USAC distributes nearly $10 billion to make broadband services accessible and affordable through the Universal Service Fund programs. The Rural Health Care Program alone, for example, distributes nearly $400 million annually in discounts for telecommunications and broadband services necessary to power today’s telehealth and telemedicine services.

Communications Law

BBLG knows telecommunications carrier regulation. Today, it’s not just telephone companies that need to worry about FCC telecommunications carrier regulations, the FCC applies a host of traditional carrier regulations to providers of VOIP and broadband Internet access services, in addition to traditional telephone companies.
