In 1995, under the leadership of Governor Sonny Perdue, telecommunications embarked on a journey for legislation reform to reflect the modern day technologies and advances in telecom. In the past decade, Georgia has taken important steps towards being a leader in broadband and telecommunications reform. Growth in broadband deployment has attracted private sector investment and helped the Georgia marketplace remain competitive.
This week, the Georgia State House and Senate members voted in strong support for HB 168, which will further update and modernize telecom laws in Georgia, providing countless benefits for consumers, businesses, and the economy.
CDF applauds the Georgia State Legislature, for voting in the best interests of Georgia consumers and businesses. To read our press statement on the passage of HB 168, please click here.
