In the telecommunications area, Baker & Daniels' practice involves representation of entities providing telecommunication services, as well as customers receiving such services. Since most, but not all, persons or entities providing telecommunications services are "public utilities" under Indiana law, representation in this area involves extensive involvement in proceedings before the IURC, including:
- proceedings for authority to provide telecommunications services
- proceedings to determine extent of regulation of providers of telecommunication services
- financing proceedings
- rulemaking proceedings
- proceedings to implement the Telecommunications Act of 1996
