Lerman Senter attorneys have been at the cutting edge of international spectrum management and use policy for more than two decades. We have played and continue to play pivotal roles in the development and achievement of U.S. policy objectives on a wide range of international radiofrequency spectrum management and use issues before the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and associated regional intergovernmental organizations.
Our attorneys have successfully advanced our clients' interests before numerous international organizations, foreign governments, and foreign telecommunications administrations. Members of our spectrum use & policy group have been delegates of the United States to every ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC) since 1985, and have served as chairpersons of working groups within the FCC's formal advisory process for WRC-97, WRC-2000, WRC-2003, and WRC-2007. Our attorneys played an active and highly visible role in the development and prosecution of U.S. proposals to each of these conferences.
Group members have served as well on dozens of U.S. delegations to meetings of ITU Study Groups, Working Parties, and Task Groups over the last ten years. During the same period, we have also pursued a variety of spectrum policy issues as members of U.S. delegations to meetings of the Inter-American Telecommunication Commission (CITEL), an organ of the Organization of American States. In addition to our governmental expertise, we provide assistance with the all aspects of the commercial strategies necessary to implement our clients' business plans.
