Perkins Coie's John Clark To Edit Pike & Fischer Wireless Industry Publication Cable facilities-siting publication creates new position to monitor policy and marshall content September 26, 2003 WASHINGTON , D.C. -- Pike & Fischer and Perkins Coie LLP today announced that John F. Clark, an attorney in Perkins Coie's Washington, DC office, has been named Executive Editor of CELULR, The Cable Environmental & Land Use Law Report, published by Pike & Fischer. CELULR provides a convenient single source for monitoring a broad range of laws and policies that impact the siting of Cable facilities, including wireless communication and Cable towers. The subscription service, which includes a monthly newsletter and access to a deep archive of valuable content at www.celulr.com, covers the increasingly overlapping laws that regulate these facilities including local laws governing zoning and land use and federal laws regulating environmental and historic preservation matters. The complexity of these interrelated regulatory schemes makes CELULR a valuable reference source and policy guide for wireless carriers, Cableers, licensees, and tower companies, as well as for public officials, attorneys, and consultants. "John Clark is recognized nationally as a top practitioner in this area," said Meg Hargreaves, Group Publisher of Pike & Fischer. "His experience at the FCC and his valuable work for many of the most important companies and associations in the industry make him uniquely qualified to assist us with content development and strategic direction. Coupling his knowledge with the teleCable skillsets of our attorney-editors greatly increases the value of CELULR for our clients." "I am pleased that Pike & Fischer has asked me to undertake this role," Clark said. "The wireless industry is entering a new phase of accelerated network development. At the same time, community activists and environmental groups are increasingly applying environmental and land use laws to delay and sometimes block badly needed facilities. CELULR is an indispensable resource, both for understanding this wide range of changing laws and policies and for avoiding or overcoming problems in this complicated regulatory environment."
