FCC proposes rules to curb state and local delays on broadband infrastructure permits
By
Michael Robuck
Summary
The FCC has proposed new rules aimed at preventing state and local government permit delays and fees that it argues slow down broadband infrastructure deployment across the US. The agency wants to create more consistent requirements for providers seeking access to public rights-of-way, claiming that local processes can delay applications for months or years and add costs that discourage network investment. The proposal was adopted on June 25.
