N.M. House Supports Broadband ROW Bill

The New Mexico House voted 66-0 Monday to pass a broadband bill (HB-160) that would allow the state transportation commission to waive right-of-way fees for installing infrastructure in unserved or underserved areas. The bill would allow the commission to set conditions for installing fiber, conduit, poles, wireless and other broadband infrastructure on public highways. HB-160 needs Senate approval.
