In this globalization era, telecommunications and the Internet are one of the essential vehicles of economic and social development. The complexity of regulations following the privatization of state monopolies and the total deregulation of the service call for specialized knowledge and experience in solving problems with the relevant public authorities, and in the contractual relationships and conflicts between the different operators.
We have been providing counselling services to telecommunication companies for many years on regulations, the prosecution of licenses, negotiations with the government and compliance with rules.

As far as the Internet is concerned, we are actively involved in international organizations in charge of technical coordination, such as ICANN and The Internet Society. Our professionals were invited to participate as consultants in the several meetings of the World Summit on the Information Society, organized by the United Nations. (Geneva, Wellington, Marrakech, Vancouver and Luxembourg).

In addition to addressing our clients’ specific needs, GLE’s professional services in this area include::

• Filings before the CNC (Argentine Communications Commission), SECOM (Department of Communications), and COMFER (Federal Committee of Radio Broadcasting)
• Prosecuting licenses
• Verifying compliance with legal requirements
