The Federal Communications Commission voted 3-1 on Tuesday to undo Obama-era rules intended to help small companies provide faster wireless internet service.
The FCC said the decision will foster more investment and use of the 3.5 gigahertz band, a radio frequency spectrum that can be used for 5G internet service.
But small wireless internet service providers said the decision could shut smaller players out limiting their ability to bid on licenses and deliver broadband in rural areas.
