Fellman to Speak on Community Broadband, Cable Franchising
Four Panels in 18 Days for Denver Telecom Expert
DENVER (June 4, 2007) – Municipal representatives in two states at separate events this
month will listen to Ken Fellman of Denver-based Kissinger & Fellman P.C. as he
discusses community broadband networks, cable franchising and a changing regulatory
environment.
The first event is the annual conference of the National Association of State
Utility Consumer Advocates (NASUCA) in Denver June 11. Fellman will participate in
a panel discussing statewide video franchising that many state legislators have introduced
(and some have adopted) around the country.
Next, he heads for the annual conference of the Association of Idaho Cities in
Couer d’Alene June 13 to join a panel that explores the roles of local, state and federal
government in video franchising. The panel will focus on the recent legislative debate in
Idaho where, as in Colorado, local authority was preserved.
Fellman, who also serves as mayor of Arvada, Colo., will also travel to
Snowmass, Colo., for the annual Colorado Municipal League conference that runs June
27-29. Fellman will speak the afternoon of June 28 on the topic of “Making WiFi Work
for Your Municipality,” and again the morning of June 29 on the topic of “Cable
Franchising in a Changing Regulatory Environment.” Other speakers scheduled for the
CML conference include Gov. Bill Ritter and former U.S. Senator Hank Brown.
Fellman recently addressed the National League of Cities’ Congressional City
Conference in Washington, D.C. In March, he was named as one of this year’s Colorado
Super Lawyers. He is an expert in the field of local government communications
policies. He has had previous speaking engagements at many venues, including the U.S.
Conference of Mayors and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association; and
he has represented local government interests in testimony before Congress, the Federal
Communications Commission and the Colorado General Assembly.
