Connecticut Looks to the Future
Connecticut is committed to keeping our citizens connected, businesses growing, and our economy thriving, so we need a strong technology foundation that will serve us well today and into the future. Preparing for the future.
5G 5G is a wireless technology that will significantly improve internet access in our state, especially in rural and underserved areas. Responsible investment in the 5G platform will: Give residents a level playing field Paving the way for practical innovation.
Strong infrastructure, less bureaucracy
One obstacle to this kind of investment is the requirement that communications equipment be installed on state land. Previously, if a wireless carrier requested access, that process could take months (or even years). And Full of bureaucracy.
This has limited our ability to best serve our local community.
That’s why Governor Lamont signed groundbreaking legislation that streamlines the equipment installation process so wireless carriers will now receive fair and timely decisions on their requests. Within 90 days.
