Telecommunications companies are asking cities around the country to accommodate small wireless technology to improve access and build out the 5G system. The result is pressure for cities to quickly permit these facilities with minimum regulation.

The FCC recently issued a series of guidance documents pertaining to wireless communication facilities and cable franchise agreements. The orders will likely have an effect on all Washington cities and the deployment of wireless communication facilities and connectivity. This webinar will educate local jurisdictions regarding the new guidance and its effect on city telecommunications infrastructure.

This recorded webinar will cover:

• Review of recent court cases involving FCC rules and how they impact cities
• How to assess your city’ compliance with federal regulations
• An update on the FCC broadband initiatives and how it helps unserved and underserved areas
• The changing technological landscape and how it could impact your cities regulatory decisions

This recorded webinar is for city attorneys, city administrators/managers, community development and permitting staff, and telecommunications staff.

Recorded: September 2021
