Faster Cable Network Expansion: New Rules for Operators and Cities
New regulations aim to accelerate the construction and modernization of cable networks, potentially leading to faster internet and TV access for citizens. The act sets specific deadlines for authorities to issue permits and defines fee structures, making it easier for operators to expand infrastructure.
Key points
Authorities will have a maximum of 90 or 150 days to decide on permits for cable infrastructure construction or modification. Failure to decide within the deadline means automatic approval of the request.
Clear rules for fees that authorities can charge for processing applications have been introduced. Fees must be transparent, non-discriminatory, and based on actual costs.
The provisions also apply to applications submitted before the act's effective date that have not yet been processed, speeding up their review.
