Fiber and broadband infrastructure projects can face significant delays long before construction begins. Railroad crossings. Environmental permitting. Pole attachments. Rail corridor agreements. Each can introduce requirements, approvals, and negotiations that impact project timelines.
On September 16 at 12:30 PM ET, The CommLaw Group is bringing together legal and engineering perspectives for “Deploying Fiber Faster: An Overview of Rights-of-Way Challenges in the AI and Broadband Infrastructure Era.”
Join:
Brendan West, Co-Founder & CEO, FiberCom Holdings Group
James “Jim” Booth, Of Counsel, The CommLaw Group
Leela Vangala, Telecom Attorney, The CommLaw Group
The discussion will explore where fiber deployment projects commonly stall and how earlier coordination between legal, engineering, and infrastructure teams can help keep projects moving.
Topics will include:
- Railroad permitting and right-of-way challenges
- Environmental and Army Corps permitting
- Joint use and pole attachments
- Rail corridor access and use agreements
- Data center site and development considerations
- Shared regulatory exposure and permitting coordination
