Faster internet for rural areas with challenging weather conditions.

This act aims to speed up access to high-speed internet for residents in rural areas, especially where network construction is difficult due to long winters and heavy snowfall. This means internet providers in these regions will have their applications processed faster, potentially reducing the waiting time for better connectivity.
Key points
Prioritized processing of applications for internet providers operating in regions with short construction seasons (e.g., long winters).
The goal is to level the playing field for companies facing difficult weather conditions when building internet infrastructure.
Residents in rural areas, especially those with harsh climates, may gain faster access to reliable internet.
