OUR COMMUNICATIONS AND MDU PRACTICES
If you face a problem with a cable or telecommunications company, Howard & Howard can offer solutions.
Government officials throughout the country retain Howard & Howard to identify and achieve goals in cable franchise renewals and transfers; formulate legislative strategies to defeat state-level forced franchising bills; resolve issues related to competitive franchising; respond to changes in statewide video franchising law; negotiate with phone companies requesting video franchises; develop community-owned telecommunications infrastructure; and audit and enforce existing franchise obligations.
Importantly, Howard & Howard is not a municipal law firm that practices communications law. Instead, our firm specializes in communications law and has local governments as clients. We never seek to replace a community's existing counsel or look for long-term assignments – our sole purpose is to help local governments solve the unique problems associated with this very specialized area of the law.
Owners of multiple dwelling units ("MDUs") and subdivision developers retain Howard & Howard to negotiate cable company access rights, develop high-income service provider alternatives, establish ownership rights over communications infrastructure, and resolve contract termination issues.
If you have a problem and need help finding solutions, call Jon Kreucher at Howard and Howard: (248) 723-0426.
