Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act streamlines deployment of broadband and telecommunications facilities in public and railroad rights-of-way.
The Broadband and Telecommunications RAIL Act amends the Communications Act of 1934 to streamline the deployment of telecommunications and broadband service facilities in public rights-of-way and railroad rights-of-way. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) must promulgate regulations to implement this section, ensuring railroad safety and preventing interference with railroad operations. Providers must submit applications to railroad carriers for placement or modification of facilities, and carriers must approve or deny these applications within 60 days.
