Tearing down regulatory barriers – such as barriers to accessing utility poles, rights-of-way, and sites for wireless towers – is a cornerstone of the FCC’s strategy for bringing broadband to all Americans. Eliminating these roadblocks can accelerate investment that will expand the reach and robustness of broadband networks for all.
