Sprint has asked the FCC to help speed up the process for approving sites for small cells.
Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure and SVP of Government Affairs Vonya McCann met with FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai last week to discuss the subject. Sprint hopes to add some 10,000 small cells to its network in what it calls a “densification” project meant to fill in gaps in coverage.
Claure complained that some jurisdictions make the process difficult and asked the FCC to step in a devise a nationwide policy for approving small cell sites. The nature of that policy was not reveled. In other Sprint news, the company appointed Roger Solé as chief marketing officer.
It also named Kevin Crull as president of the Central Area, John Stevens as president of the Central Texas Region, Michael Miess as president of the North Carolina and South Carolina Region, and Tim Donahue as president of the Kansas and Missouri Region.
