“CTIA commends Representative John Curtis and all members of the Natural Resources Committee on their commitment to increasing broadband access for Americans, especially those in rural communities. The Rural Broadband Permitting Efficiency Act will help streamline federal siting, accelerate deployment of wireless infrastructure in rural areas, and help close the digital divide. We look forward to continuing to work with Congress to modernize outdated broadband permitting rules.”
