Overview
(March 23, 2021, Washington, DC) — Steptoe & Johnson LLP is pleased to announce the launch of "6G: A Step Beyond." This blog will offer updates on US and international telecommunications policy, regulatory actions, and comment on various telecom topics, as well as an occasional lighter take on these topics.
Steptoe's Internet, Telecom & Media practice represents some of the world's leading and most innovative corporations and organizations in the internet, telecommunications, and media sectors on a wide array of matters. The team understands not just how to navigate the maze of laws and regulations affecting clients, but also how they were developed and how they can be applied—and sometimes changed—to meet a client's needs. Steptoe's team often engages in high-profile, complex regulatory, litigation, and investigative proceedings before federal agencies, state tribunals, and federal courts.
The practice is led by Pantelis Michalopoulos, who in late 2020, was one of only three lawyers nationwide to be named a Law360 MVP in Telecommunications.
Commenting on the launch, Pantelis said: "It was with some trepidation that we decided on the title '6G' for our blog. 6G, after all, is already around the corner. But we took some comfort we could update the name to 7G and keep counting if necessary, like a well-known Hollywood studio."
Pantelis will serve as an author for the blog, along with Chris Bjornson, Andrew Golodny, Matt Friedman, Alicia Loh, and Travis West.
