The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a notice proposing new rules aimed at how state and local governments manage the deployment of high-speed wireline infrastructure, such as fiber optic cables.
Why it matters: This is a significant regulatory shift that would move more control over infrastructure deployment from local municipalities to the federal level by limiting their ability to charge fees or delay permits.
Who it affects
- Telecommunications and internet service providers
This is a proposed rule from the FCC; readers should consult the Federal Register for full details before relying on these potential changes.
