Mirroring SB 17, this legislation authorizes Georgia's Telephone Cooperatives to provide broadband services, either directly or indirectly through a contractual arrangement or through an affiliate. Coops will also be eligible to apply for federal or state loans and grants to provide this service. This proposal is part of the House Rural Development Council's recommendations to facilitate broadband deployment to rural areas of the state. |
