internet.com's ISP-Planet.com Creates
List of Internet Lawyers to Offer ISPs a Solution to Potential
Problems
NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 17, 2000 (INB) --
Finding an ISP-savvy lawyer just got easier. The recently launched
List of ISP Lawyers, from ISP-Planet.com http://www.isp-planet.com,
is a one-stop resource for Internet Service Providers who are
looking to navigate the world of Internet business with a qualified
lawyer at their side. ISP-Planet.com, a news and information
Web site for ISPs, has created this list of user-submitted lawyers
with Internet expertise in an attempt to make the search for
an ISP lawyer easier for small ISPs. The list is comprised of
lawyers from around North America, as well as several international
locations.
In addition to being able to find an ISP
lawyer, the list contains links to additional resources that
will help ISPs with the process of acquiring a lawyer who's right
for their needs. There are links to Martindale-Hubbell's online
Lawyer Directory, legal glossaries, the FCC and the Federal legislature.
"There is a need for more than a simple
list of lawyers," said Ted Stevenson, Managing Editor of
ISP-Planet.com. "ISPs need legal expertise in lots of areas.
For some, it's help navigating the shoals of government regulation.
For others, it's making the transition from ISP to CLEC. For
many, it's just basic service-provider business stuff like Acceptable
User Policies and contracts with upstream providers."
The lawyers on the list are experts in
multiple key areas, including: Intellectual Property, General
Regulations, General Business Issues, Venture Capital, and Merger
and Acquisitions. According to Alex Goldman, Associate Editor
at ISP-Planet.com, "We plan on adding a sixth category:
CLEC. The CLEC market is booming, and we'd like to be able to
offer the ISPs the process of becoming CLECs all they help they
need."
