Today, Congresswoman Anna G. Eshoo (D-CA) reintroduced three bills during Infrastructure Week to expand access to broadband.
The three bills reintroduced by Rep. Eshoo are:
- TheBroadband Conduit Deployment Act, commonly ‘dig once,’ is bicameral, bipartisan legislation that mandates the inclusion of conduit—plastic pipes which house fiberoptic cables—during road construction receiving federal funding.
- TheCommunity Broadband Act is bicameral legislation that removes roadblocks for public-private partnerships and locally-owned broadband systems.
- TheClearing Local Impediments Makes Broadband Open to New Competition and Enhancements (CLIMB ONCE) Act helps local communities streamline the pole attachment process to make the deployment of broadband faster, cheaper, and more competitive.
Rep. Eshoo is a longtime advocate for broadband access for all Americans.
