Over the years, the Firm has assisted non-U.S. companies and governments in both entering and understanding the U.S. telecommunications market. These companies and governments represent interests in many regions of the world, including Latin America (i.e., South America, Central America and Mexico), Asia and the Pacific Rim, Russia, Europe and the Caribbean. In recent years, we have represented growing numbers of businesses in South America, Central America and Mexico in understanding the evolving legal and regulatory requirements of the U.S. telecommunications market, including the entry process, regulatory fees and assessments (including the Universal Service Fund), ongoing compliance requirements, and the unique obligations imposed on foreign-owned providers. The Firm also has expertise in representing organizations situated in, and competing in, the Pacific Rim region, particularly Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. The Firm previously served as telecommunications counsel to two of the governments of these pacific territories and represents a number of wireline and wireless service providers as well as other entities in these regions. We also have additional expertise representing both U.S. and non-U.S. companies and governments with respect to foreign ownership issues, ITU Convention matters, international numbering, ISPC codes, submarine cables, callback services, rate integration and the FCC's international settlements policy.
