Indian Communications Initiative

Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC. has adopted an Indian Communications Initiative tailored toward the unique requirements of sovereign Indian Nations as they deal with the FCC, federal agencies, and other Nations. We have a full cadre of professionals who focus on telecommunications issues including television and radio stations, telephone companies, internet service providers, and a myriad of other communications interests.

Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC. has helped tribal governments to obtain broadcast licenses for use in disseminating tribal and generational information to anyone with a radio on or around the reservation. In addition, we have worked with tribal governments in obtaining the necessary FCC licenses to provide wireless and Internet service, as well as local telephone service on reservations and in adjoining communities. Drawing upon decades of experience, Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC. provides its Native American clients with much needed institutional information for dealing with federal rules and regulations related to telecommunications services before the FCC, Department of Agriculture, Small Businesses Administration, Department of Commerce, and other government agencies and courts.
