Kevin DiLallo is the founder and Managing Director of DICTA Law, PLLC, and has practiced Information and Communications Technology (“ICT”) law with a focus on transactional and regulatory matters for over 35 years.

Kevin’s practice has largely followed various major technological developments from inception to refinement and deployment and finally widespread commercial availability. From the emergence of the Internet to the authorization and roll-out of commercial mobile radio (cellular and PCS) services to the development of a standard for the digital HDTV we have today, Kevin was at the center of each of those developments negotiating contracts with equipment and service providers, financial institutions, licensees, ISPs, data center operators, systems integrators, SaaS providers, and – always – the largest customers each of these providers has, in their capacity as purchasers and users.

Along the way, Kevin has been involved in pivotal rulemaking proceedings, primarily before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), but also the New York Public Service Commission, on matters such as the appropriate regulatory classification of Internet access service, Net Neutrality, Advanced Television Service standards, and a wide range of regulatory matters affecting large users of CMRS, landline, Internet, and public safety services.

For almost thirty years, Kevin was a senior partner at Levine, Blaszak, Block & Boothby, LLP, then one of the leading ICT firms in the world.  He also served as the firm’s General Counsel.  While there, Kevin founded the wireless practice, which grew to become the preeminent representative of large users of wireless services in the country.  He also co-founded, with two other partners, the highly regarded consulting affiliate of the law firm, TechCaliber Consulting, LLC, which boasts a client list composed of the biggest players in the corporate world.  For most of its existence, Kevin served as TechCaliber’s General Counsel.

Most recently, Kevin and Senior Counsel Pat Whittle spearheaded a pro bono representation of the National Association of the Deaf and more than 30 other hearing- and speech-impaired rights organizations in persuading the FCC to require text messaging providers to make three-digit text access to national suicide counseling resources commencing in July 2022.

Kevin regularly speaks at conferences, writes articles, and records podcasts regarding ICT-related matters of current interest to large enterprises, including privacy and data security issues, 5G, the Internet of Things, and governance.
