Brenner Leaving NCTA

After more than 16 years of fighting cable's legal battles, Dan Brenner, the longtime legal counsel for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, is leaving to join Hogan & Hartson, a Washington telecommunications, media, and entertainment law practice. Brenner led the NCTA's biggest legal battles during a time of major regulatory challenges as cable transformed from a one-way antennae service to a full-service provider of voice, video and data, and the industry's regulatory issues exploded. A familiar face at cable trade shows and panels, Brenner said he thought it was time for a change, coinciding with a new administration. NCTA president & CEO Kyle McSlarrow says Brenner will continue to consult for NCTA and provide guidance on a variety of regulatory issues.
