Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.)
WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — Rural Broadband access continues to be a priority of Senator John Thune.
Thune recently introduced the STREAMLINE Act, which would expedite the deployment of the small cells needed for 5G installation while respecting the role of state and local governments in making deployment decisions.
Importantly, it would make it more affordable to bring 5G to rural areas by addressing the costs of small-cell deployment.
5G offers tremendous potential for rural communities, whether it’s better access to telehealth or the opportunity to implement precision agriculture.
