Civitium is routinely asked
about how federal and state laws affect the ability for local
governments to provide telecommunications and/or information
services. Below are links to existing, proposed and
defeated legislations.
The list has been compiled from various government and technology
websites. It may not be comprehensive and is intended
only to provide links for further reference. Civitium
strongly recommends that local governments interested in providing
wireless broadband services obtain legal advice regarding
state and federal regulations. Civitium, LLC cannot
be held liable for any incorrect or incomplete information.
