Faster Deployment of Small Wireless Antennas Without Redundant Permits

This act aims to accelerate the deployment of small wireless service facilities, like 5G antennas, by exempting them from lengthy environmental and historical preservation reviews. This could lead to faster expansion of mobile networks, potentially improving connectivity and internet access for citizens, but also raises concerns about environmental and cultural heritage impacts.
Key points
Small wireless antennas will not require detailed environmental impact assessments.
Historical preservation reviews will not be needed for small wireless antenna projects.
If an Indian Tribe does not respond to a deployment request within 45 days, it is presumed to have no interest, speeding up the process.
Faster infrastructure deployment could mean better coverage and faster internet for mobile users.
