One of the most important facets of CityScape’s consulting process is its telecommunications regulation experience, led by Anthony T. Lepore, Esq., a recognized authority in the profession, who regularly represents clients before the FCC. This puts CityScape on the leading edge of current agenda items with the FCC and the myriad of technologies changing on a daily basis.
CityScape legal staff in concert with our client's legal staff will assist local government in the development and approval of regulations that will comply with Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, specifically:

• Regulations governing the placement, construction and modification of personal wireless service facilities which do not discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services and do not prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of cellular and personal communication services (PCS).
• Ensure requests and authorization to place, construct or modify cellular and PCS facilities are acted upon and in compliance with the Telecommunications Act.
• Ensure that such regulations are not predicated on Radio Frequency (RF) emissions and their environmental effect as long as the facilities proposed complies with the FCC’s regulations.
• Protect local government interests in historic preservation, public safety and aesthetics, etc., to the full extent allowed by federal law.
• Maximize opportunities for revenue, using public property for lease to providers of wireless and other services.
