Connecting people and their business to the legal world in a more intelligent way, through telecommunications and technology.
The Telecommunications, Media and Technology (“TMT”) market is in continuous and rapid transformation. Within such constant flow of innovation, new paradigms that affect the legal world emerge at all times. For example, new Internet connection technology (such as FTTH, 5G, WiFi 6E and 7, and new satellite systems), the Internet of things (IoT), cyberspace regulation, new systems of audiovisual content distribution, among several others. In the new digital economy landscape, being involved in such transformation is crucial.
We can assist you on the viability of new business and on the navigation of the complex regulatory ecosystem, based on a multidisciplinary practice that encompasses all layers and chains of the TMT sector, which includes: (a) the provision of passive infrastructure for the operation of telecommunications services (such as towers, poles and right-of-way); (b) the provision of telecommunications services regardless of the technology employed (e.g., confined media, satellite and radio frequencies); (c) the use of radio frequency spectrum; (d) the distribution of audiovisual content through any type of technology (such as streaming, pay-TV and broadcast TV); and (e) the provision of over-the-top services, among others.
