Faster Broadband on Federal Lands: Streamlined Approvals for Providers.
This act aims to speed up the construction of broadband infrastructure, like fiber optics and cell towers, on federal lands. Citizens can expect faster internet access, especially in areas where it's currently limited. These changes mean less bureaucracy for telecommunications companies, which should lead to quicker investments.
Key points
Easier broadband construction: Broadband projects on federal lands will not require lengthy environmental or historical preservation reviews.
Faster internet access: Fewer formalities mean providers can build networks more quickly, accelerating access to high-speed internet for citizens.
Applies to rights-of-way: Simplifications cover infrastructure construction along roads, highways, and similar areas, excluding Interstate System portions.
