Faster Internet: Lower Fees for Broadband Infrastructure

This new law aims to speed up broadband deployment across the U.S. It sets rules for fees charged by states and local governments for building internet infrastructure. As a result, citizens can expect faster internet access, especially in areas where it is currently limited.
Key points
States and local governments must streamline and lower fees for broadband infrastructure to receive federal funds.
Permit and right-of-way fees must be transparent, non-discriminatory, and based on actual costs.
The goal is faster and cheaper expansion of broadband access for all citizens.
