Great information from @NCTAitv — Georgia’s cable industry remains committed to help make broadband deployment a reality for more Georgians. We’re currently looking for ways to partner with policymakers & others in our communities to help overcome barriers to deployment.
This @comcast initiative will provide free connectivity inside the community centers for the next 3 years, as well as access to hundreds of hours of educational and digital skills content to help families and site coordinators navigate online learning https://t.co/MuDdJZGIUC
Thankful for so many of our members and hardworking cable technologists finding ways to continue advancing broadband networks for the communities they serve. Thank you for continuing to find ways as we work to reduce existing and new barriers. #littlelesstalkbutalotmoreaction

Georgia Cable member Comcast continues to lean in and look for ways to expand broadband to more unserved Georgians. And wow, they were able to pull off this $9Million expansion in less than 6 months to connect Haralson County. Christmas came early for some deserving Georgians!
A friendly reminder to any of those impacted by #sallyhurricane GCA member companies, like COMCAST, have kept their WiFi hotspots open. Please see the article below for more information on how to access them.
HB 244 was signed into law by Governor Kemp today! We look forward to working with the PSC to ensure that artificial barriers are not keeping progress and prosperity from our rural communties and Georgians.

I am deeply proud of @comcast and their announcement of a $9 million broadband expansion in Haralson and Carroll counties. This investment will help bridge the digital divide — a key component towards achieving the goal of making GA the technology capital of the East Coast!
