Richard Cameron Elected to NTCA’s Associate Member Advisory Council

Womble Bond Dickinson Partner Richard Cameron has been elected to the Associate Member Advisory Council (AMAC) of NTCA—The Rural Broadband Association by members of the Council in a highly competitive race. Council members are nominated by NTCA members and elected by the Council for a three-year term.  Our firm represents some 200 NTCA members and maintains a close and longstanding relationship with NTCA itself.

The AMAC represents the interests of NTCA’s nearly 300 associate member companies, which provide goods and services to and are a critical component of the communications industry. Associate members include insurance providers, equipment manufacturers, banks & financial service providers, accounting consultants, engineers, and law firms. The AMAC itself provides insight and education to telecommunications carrier members on technological, regulatory and evolutionary business changes through publications, seminars and workshops. The AMAC develops educational programs tailored to ensure timely dissemination of key topics vital to the membership.

Richard advises clients in the broadband, communications, and technology sectors on competition, regulatory, transactional, and commercial issues. He has over 30 years of experience, including roles as a senior federal government official, senior attorney with an Am Law 10 international law firm, in-house counsel at a U.S. telecommunications carrier, and the owner of an independent legal practice for over a decade. He uses this multifaceted perspective to create innovative and practical solutions to complicated regulatory and business problems.

At the Federal Communications Commission, Richard played a leading role in implementing the Telecommunications Act of 1996, establishing rules, policy, and compliance requirements governing telecommunications and broadband competition and intercarrier compensation.

Richard will serve a three-year term on the AMAC, further demonstrating Womble’s commitment to the rural broadband carrier members of NTCA providing Richard the opportunity to showcase Womble’s bench strength not only in communications regulatory matters, but also business litigation, private equity investment and finance, M&A, corporate and board governance, employment and labor, cybersecurity and data privacy, risk mitigation,  and patent, trademark and copyright law.
