The FCC voted 3-2 to change the rules (WARNING auto play video) regarding small cell 5G deployment. The intent of the rule change is to reduce government reviews that were really designed for large cell tower deployments. This reduction in bureaucracy should allow these types of deployments to proceed faster. I'm all for faster and think this is a smart move. I hope we see 5G sooner rather than later.
In a 3-2, party-line vote Thursday, agency commissioners passed a measure that exempts small cell radio deployments from federal environmental and historical preservation reviews originally meant for large cell phone towers. The vote didn't affect reviews from towns and cities. The agency may consider exemptions for those reviews later this year.
