Representing clients for more than three decades in proceedings before the FCC and appellate courts, Craig provides advice on numerous aspects of wireless spectrum and competition policy and infrastructure deployment.

Craig’s efforts and advocacy in bringing wireless coverage to previously unserved areas in northern Michigan helped to establish a roadmap for overcoming infrastructure siting obstacles.  He also authored a Supreme Court amicus brief in a case that clarified how local governments must respond to tower construction requests, and has contributed to numerous appellate briefs in cases involving the open Internet, satellite licensing, and broadband deployment.

Craig has conducted seminars and helped clients to develop training compliance materials covering wireless and infrastructure regulations.  He also has spoken on several panels addressing wireless broadband deployment.
