Tell the FCC You Support Compound Expansion

The FCC has released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would make it easier to expand a compound up to 30 feet when colocating on an existing tower. This will help to promote 5G by allowing more space for colocation, edge data centers, and backup generators.

Support this measure by July 22
