What’s in it
AI summary Companies that provide phone and internet services can now team up to pay for building or fixing fiberoptic pipes and conduits. This change allows them to use certain financing methods to buy land or install the tubes that hold fiberoptic cables. Cities must allow different service providers to use these networks without being unfair to any specific company.1
