An interview with Jim Baller, an advocate—literally—for municipal wireless: Baller is part of The Baller Herbst Law Group (Washington, D.C., and Minneapolis), and has worked for many years representing municipalities and public utilities in their efforts to offer services, particularly broadband. This involves negotiation, not necessarily litigation.
We talked today about a bit of history, starting with electrification 100 years ago, through the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia saga of 2004, finishing up with the Net Neutrality’s current drafts of laws in Congress that include provisions to level the playing fields for municipal broadband. Baller notes that the versions before Congress don’t tip the balance to towns and cities; rather, they require municipal entities to go through a reasonable process before building networks [36 min., 17 MB, MP3].
