Why Permitting Reform Is Key to Closing the Digital Divide

Helping more Americans get access to high-speed internet requires a significant broadband network buildout, but our inefficient permitting process is preventing the speedy deployment of these networks.

Our Work

America’s digital infrastructure supports commerce, connects people, broadens access to health care and education, and enhances daily life. Upgrading and expanding the sophisticated communications framework built by America’s private sector is imperative to improving lives and advancing society. The Chamber supports strategies to bring reliable, secure, and life-changing broadband technology into communities across the country through public-private partnerships.
