Following our article from last year analysing the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill 2021-2022, the Bill received Royal Assent on 6 December 2022, becoming the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022. Many of the provisions require further regulations to be passed before they become effective later this year.
The Act intends to create a more favourable balance to the interests of landowners and telecoms operators whilst supporting the widespread rollout of 5G and fibre networks across England and Wales.
