The Commpliance Group : State Telecommunications Licenses

State Telecommunications Licenses

Service providers that intend to provide telecommunications services entirely within a single state (either local or intrastate service) may need a license from a state regulatory agency. Whether or not a license is required depends on many factors, including whether the state has jurisdiction over the service, whether the state requires a license or just a registration, and whether the service is provided over a carrier’s own facilities (“facilities-based”), or by reselling the services of another carrier (“resale”). The process for obtaining a state telecommunications license ranges from a simple online registration to an extensive review and investigation.

The Commpliance Group provides every legal and regulatory service you need to begin providing all types of regulated and unregulated communications service or grow and expand your existing communications business. The Commpliance Group provides the following state telecommunications licensing services:
