CDF Weighs In On the Benefits of Updating Telecom Laws in Georgia
Last week, the Atlantic Journal Constitution featured a letter to the editor from John Watson.  In the letter Watson highlights the importance of increased broadband deployment as a means for job creation.  Please click here  and scroll to the bottom to read the letter.
This week, the Macon Telegraph features an op-ed by Watson that explains the many advantages of updating Georgia’s telecom laws.   The proposed telecom modernization and access reform legislation in Georgia would lead to an “open regulatory environment, which would have the effect of expanding broadband,” Watson explains.  He continues, “Broadband expansion engages both businesses and the individual, profiting not just companies, but doctors and patients, or teachers and students.  The passage of the new legislation offers room for growth and development in these tough economic times.”  To read Watson’s piece in its entirety, please click here.
