Regulatory analysis
Bates White experts work with attorneys and regulatory affairs staff to manage
the strategic and practical aspects of regulatory matters, and we provide expert
analysis and support before federal, state, and international regulatory bodies.
Bates White combines knowledge of regulatory economics with deep experience in
competition economics to provide insights into the ways platform convergence is
blurring the line between competition and regulatory policy. Our experts have
testified, made presentations, and submitted reports to state, federal, and
overseas regulators on issues such as the unbundling obligations of local
exchange carriers, auction design, the impact of exclusive programming rules on
the distribution of video programming, net neutrality, and wireless neutrality.
We examined the issue of whether local exchange markets were sufficiently
competitive to permit entry by regional Bell companies into long distance in
the context of Section 271 of the Telecommunications Act. Our clients have
included long distance telephone companies, incumbent and competitive local
exchange carriers, regulatory agencies, wireless telephone companies, and cable
companies.
