Mitchell Lazarus specializes in the regulation of new telecommunications technologies, and has helped many manufacturers and service providers obtain FCC approval for innovative products and services. Recent work has included extensive regulatory involvement in unlicensed radio technologies, including ultra-wideband and various forms of Wi-Fi, along with radio-based security systems, software-defined and cognitive radios, millimeter-wave technologies, and broadband-over-power-line. He is also experienced in spectrum allocation issues and the arcane rules governing approvals for radio equipment. Among more conventional technologies, Mr. Lazarus has advised clients in the fixed microwave, cellular and wireline telephone, paging, private radio, domestic and international satellite industries, and on legal issues relating to the Internet. In years past he drafted substantial parts of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 and its legislative history, and authored the "government warning" label that appears on alcohol beverage packaging.
