Briefings provides up-to-the-minute daily coverage of telecom developments in the
courts, in the legislatures and at the state public service commissions. Its electronic
delivery to the desktop ensures that subscribers are the first to get the word on critical
rulings and decisions affecting telecom companies, their regulators and their customers.
From the Oregon PUC order on area code overlays to the Maine Supreme Court decision on
wireless tower siting, Legal Briefings covers the full range of state telecom
developments. In addition to Legal Briefings, subscribers to the State Telecom
Service have complete access to the CCH Guide to State Telecommunications Law,
which offers online the updated full-text, fully searchable laws and regulations for all
50 states. This electronic resource, available on the CCH Internetsm
Research Network and CD-ROM, provides a critical combination of practical advice
and primary statutory and regulatory authorities in this rapidly changing, contentious
arena.
Including information on the prerequisites for doing business in each state, the filing
of applications and steps for gaining regulatory approvals, reporting requirements, rates
and consumer protection laws and regulations, the CCH Guide to State Telecommunications
Law provides thorough coverage of all the state laws governing telecommunications.
To ensure fast access to critical information, the explanations, regulations and
statutes for each state telecom actions are arranged in hierarchical menus so users can
readily locate what they need, even without a citation or using search syntax. The uniform
arrangement makes it easy to find similar provisions in the codes of different states,
facilitating comparisons that allow professionals to advise clients more effectively and
respond to market opportunities more quickly. To help users stay current, the database is
updated weekly on the Internet and monthly on CD-ROM.
