An Act relative to cellular coverage

This bill requires Massachusetts' Department of Telecommunications to work with cell carriers to identify infrastructure needs for universal cellular coverage. It directs the department to locate public land (owned by state or municipalities) that could be leased or sold at low cost to carriers for new towers in coverage gaps, or to purchase land if needed. The bill sets a deadline of January 1, 2030, for all residents to access cellular service, and mandates a 2026 report detailing the plan and progress. It directly affects residents in areas with poor coverage and cell carriers building new infrastructure.
