Faster Wireless and Internet Network Expansion
New rules aim to speed up the expansion and modernization of telecommunications infrastructure, such as cell towers and base stations. This means telecommunications companies can get approvals for upgrades faster, potentially leading to better coverage and faster internet for citizens. The act also sets clear rules for required documents and application review times by local authorities.
Key points
Local authorities must approve requests for modifications to existing wireless and telecommunications facilities more quickly if changes are not substantial.
If a request is not acted upon within 60 days, it will be automatically approved, speeding up the process.
Telecommunications companies will find it easier to upgrade infrastructure, potentially improving connection quality and internet access, especially in emergencies.
Local authorities will be limited in the amount of documentation they can require, simplifying procedures for companies and accelerating investments.
