Council Comments to FCC on Muncipal FTTH Deployment and the National Broadband Plan
In these comments, the FTTH Council argues that the National Broadband Plan should specifically provide that the FCC shall preempt state laws that prohibit or effectively prohibit municipal entities from providing telecommunications services. In making recommendations in the National Broadband Plan, the FTTH Council urges the Commission to propose to Congress that it consider and enact such legislation so that
municipalities can participate in accelerating the deployment of FTTH networks.
