In a world where telecommunications are as indispensable as water and electricity, outdated regulations are impeding progress and driving up costs for consumers. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), a law enacted in 1970 to protect the environment from large-scale projects, is now misapplied to low-impact telecommunications technologies like 5G infrastructure and small cell antennas. This misuse creates inefficiencies, as vague provisions of NEPA are exploited by consulting firms and industry stakeholders to mandate exhaustive environmental reviews for projects posing minimal risk. These unnecessary processes generate profits for a select few while delaying critical technological advancements and burdening consumers with inflated connectivity costs.

This book calls for a modernization of NEPA’s application to telecommunications, arguing that adapting outdated policies to today’s technological landscape is essential for progress. It emphasizes the need to streamline regulations, eliminate redundancies, and balance environmental stewardship with practical innovation. By recalibrating NEPA’s focus, policymakers can foster an approach that lowers consumer costs, promotes equitable access to technology, and ensures environmental protections remain intact. The stakes are high: continuing to enforce these archaic practices not only hinders progress but exacerbates the digital divide, leaving families and businesses to shoulder the financial and societal costs of inefficiency.
