FCC Regulations

These are excerpts from an FCC Press Release dated November 18:

The Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) [has established] timeframes of 90 days for collocations and 150 days for all other tower siting applications reviewed by state and local governments.

This action will assist in speeding the deployment of next generation wireless networks. The deployment of next generation mobile broadband networks promises tremendous benefits for American businesses and consumers and realizing these benefits will require new physical networks, including many new towers.

The FCC found that there are many instances of unnecessary delays.
