Faster 5G Deployment: Streamlined Wireless Infrastructure Approvals

New rules aim to accelerate 5G network expansion in the US by setting a 60-day time limit for local governments to review requests for modifying existing wireless facilities. If a request is not acted upon within this period, it is automatically approved, which should help carriers expand infrastructure and improve access to high-speed internet for citizens.
Key points
Local governments have 60 days to approve or deny requests for changes to existing wireless facilities; after this period, the request is automatically approved.
The law specifies what information can be required from telecommunications companies to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.
Telecommunications companies can sue local governments in federal court for non-compliance, ensuring the rules are followed.
