Bill Summary
Counties/Internet Infrastructure
AI Summary
This bill allows counties in North Carolina to provide infrastructure, such as conduit, fiber-optic cable, and fiber-optic wire, to expand high-speed Internet access service in unserved areas of the county. The counties can then lease this infrastructure to private providers of high-speed Internet access service on a technology-neutral basis. The bill defines "high-speed Internet access service" as defined in state law and "unserved area" as also defined in state law. The bill applies only to the specified counties in North Carolina.
