Speeding Up Permits for Broadband Infrastructure Construction
This law aims to accelerate the deployment of high-speed internet nationwide by streamlining administrative processes. It requires federal agencies to better track and eliminate delays in issuing permits for communications projects. Additionally, large broadband projects (over $5 million) will now be subject to faster environmental review processes, potentially reducing the time citizens wait for better internet access.
