FCC Commissioner Carr Statement on D.C. Circuit’s Wireless Infrastructure Decision
August 15, 2018, the D.C. Circuit denied a motion to stay the Commissions March 2018 infrastructure order that modernized the agency’s wireless siting rules. The FCC’s March order cut nearly 1.6 billion in regulatory red tape that threatened to slow the deployment of small cells and other next-generation wireless infrastructure necessary for 5G.
FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr issued the following statement, “Today’s court decision is good news for U.S. leadership on 5G. The FCC’s commonsense reforms to our wireless siting rules help ensure we’re 5G Ready, and they’re already accelerating the buildout of next-gen networks. I look forward to continuing our efforts to bring more broadband to more Americans.”
