NATE Statement on Introduction of STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act in the U.S. Senate
(Washington, D.C.) – The NATE: The Communications Infrastructure Contractors Association today released the following statement on the introduction of the STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act in the U.S. Senate:
“NATE applauds the bipartisan leadership of Senator John Thune (R-SD) and Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) in introducing the STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act in the U.S Senate,” said Executive Director Todd Schlekeway. “The Association originally supported this legislation during the previous Congress and is pleased that it has been re-introduced in the 116th Congress. NATE member contractors are currently on the front lines densifying wireless networks through small cell installations and this legislation, coupled with the FCC’s leadership on key streamlining reforms, will ultimately serve to expedite the process of deploying the hundreds of thousands of small cell antennas and related infrastructure that is necessary to enable 5G connectivity in the United States,” added Schlekeway.
The STREAMLINE Small Cell Deployment Act would implement fee limits, streamline deployment timelines and include other key measures that would position the United States to win the global race to 5G.
