New FCC Ruling Gives Federal Government Control of 5G Rollout<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n
As the push towards 5G-powered \u201cSmart\u201d surveillance cities begins across the United States the Federal Communications Commission has approved a new rule limiting the power of local authorities.<\/em><\/p>\n

On Monday October 1st, Sacramento, Houston, Indianapolis and Los Angeles became the first cities to gain access to Verizon\u2019s 5G Wireless service. The City of Sacramento has become a focus of Verizon\u2019s nationwide expansion of 5G, or 5th Generation Cellular technology. \u201cWe were able to make Sacramento one of our first 5G cities because Mayor Darrell Steinberg and city leaders embraced innovation and developed a strategic vision for how 5G could be a platform for the larger Sacramento technology ecosystem,\u201d said <\/a>Jonathan LeCompte, Pacific Market president for Verizon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The rollout of 5G is expected to herald the beginning of Smart Cities, where driverless cars, pollution sensors, cell phones, traffic lights, and thousands of other devices interact in what is known as \u201cThe Internet of Things\u201d<\/a>. The move towards the smart grid was hastened last week when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved a rule that will limit the role of local authorities regarding the build of 5G networks, specifically the amount city officials can charge telecommunication companies (\u201cBig Tech\u201d). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Hill<\/em> reported<\/a> on the new rule:
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll four commissioners offered support for the rule, with Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel dissenting over only part of the proposal. When the new rules take effect, local officials will have 60 to 90 days to review installation requests.<\/em><\/p>\n

Republicans on the commission say that limiting what they see as exorbitant fees in major cities will free up capital for companies like Verizon and AT&T to invest in building out their networks in underserved rural areas. The commission estimated that the rule will save wireless providers $2 billion.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
