FCC Seeks to Expedite Deployment of 5G Wireless Networks

Federal regulators will vote in three weeks on a plan to accelerate next-generation 5G wireless networks around the U.S. by overriding some local rules that could hold up deployment.

The plan is expected to win approval from the Federal Communications Commission at a meeting in late September.

The plan is aimed at boosting deployment of small cellular transmitters, backpack-size devices that will be a key feature of 5G infrastructure. Placement of such devices can be subject to local delays and high fees under current rules.

Telecommunications companies have called the local rules burdensome, while U.S. national-security officials have voiced concern that the U.S. could be falling behind China and other countries in the race to develop 5G networks and applications.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican, announced the new 5G deployment plan in a speech in Indianapolis on Tuesday.

The biggest change in the plan would limit local-government fees to the actual costs involved in reviewing deployment applications. It also would generally require municipalities to approve or disapprove applications to attach small cells to existing structures within 60 days.

The plan relies on a longstanding federal law that bars municipal rules that effectively prohibit deployment of wireless service.
