NATOA Opposes Georgia HB282
NATOA, as part of a coalition of private-sector companies and trade associations, is opposing legislation that would place restrictions on the ability of local communities to build out their own broadband networks. In a letter sent to Rep. Don Parsons, the chairman of the Georgia House Energy, Utilities and Telecommunications Committee, the coalition stated that House Bill 282 “will harm both the public and private sectors, stifle economic growth, prevent the creation or retention of thousands of jobs, hamper work force development, and diminish the quality of life in Georgia.”
We thank NATOA members Jim Baller and the Georgia Municipal Association for their hard work in opposing this bill.
