Think it’s just a little copper theft? Think again.

Federal permitting delays are slowing broadband expansion on public lands and keeping Americans disconnected.

Environmental and historical reviews on these lands have become duplicative, costly, and inefficient.

Big thanks to Sen. John Barrasso on the introduction of his Close the GAP Act to help fix this problem, easing burdensome requirements on land that has been reviewed in previously approved permits to reduce wait time so our member ISPs – including Silver Star Communications in Idaho and Wyoming and Range in Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota – can bring connectivity to Americans faster.
