Bradley Law helps municipalities plan for their broadband needs. Our firm works as part of an independent team of consultants that review the legal, financial and engineering issues related to broadband in the City. The team examines what assets the City has and thoroughly examines the options available to each City. Each municipal client will then choose what it believes to be the best option(s).
