Network Equipment Transparency: Speeding Up Broadband Deployment.
This law requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to analyze how the availability of telecommunications equipment impacts the deployment of high-speed internet nationwide. The goal is to identify supply chain issues that might be slowing down the expansion of internet services. Ultimately, this aims to ensure better and faster internet access for all citizens, particularly in underserved areas.
Key points
The FCC must assess whether the availability of network equipment is delaying the construction of high-speed internet (broadband).
The objective is to accelerate access to modern telecommunications services, especially in underserved areas.
Internet providers are not required to submit new, additional data to the FCC solely because of this law.
