Kan. Gov. Kelly Unveils 'Broadband Ready' Certification

Kansas will designate “broadband ready” cities that address possible deployment barriers at the local level, Gov. Laura Kelly (D) said Thursday. Communities seeking the certification must adopt a local law that, at minimum, designates a single point of contact, commits to responding to applications in 30 days, limits filing fees to meet state law requirements, requires a move to electronic filing and prohibits discrimination in permitting procedures.
