Technology, Media, Telecommunications, Broadcasting & Spectrum

Anyone who doubts the impact Washington has on fostering technological growth need look no further than the 1996 Telecommunications Act passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton. This legislation ignited an industry firestorm that continues to sweep the nation. The Gallant Government & Law Group is perfectly positioned to partner with your company to leverage the legislative and regulatory landscapes to help you reach tomorrow’s goals today.

Gary Gallant was a leading voice for the competitive telecommunications industry for the better part of a decade, representing competitive carriers in their rate setting and interconnection negotiations with mammoth incumbent providers. Over time, Gary’s work transitioned to include his representation of the largest VoIP provider in the United States, as he helped lead a successful legislative/regulatory strategy seeking an FCC state preemption order regarding VoIP. The evolution into digital communications naturally led Gary into the thick of the net neutrality debate, representing over-the-top services in securing principles that protected their ability to expand, innovative, and compete for the consumer.

Gary’s expertise in technology and media expands well beyond traditional telecommunications services. Gary has spent years working with the House and Senate Commerce Committees, as well as the FCC, on spectrum issues relating to over-the-air television broadcasting and wireless microphones. He led a massive coalition of spectrum stakeholders in the fight to preserve “white spaces” for the use of Houses of Worship, schools, sports, theater, music, and entertainment.

There is no lobbying firm in Washington better prepared, more experienced, or with more high-level access, to help structure a technology, media, or telecommunications legislative and regulatory strategy for your company than the Gallant Government & Law Group.
