Carroll EMC & SyncGlobal Celebrate Fiber Deployment with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Carrollton, GA Carroll Electric Membership Cooperative and SyncGlobal Telecom celebrated the historic milestone of broadband deployment at a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday, May 7. The event follows the cooperative’s and telecommunication provider’s previous announcement that the process of building out fiber infrastructure for Phase I had begun earlier in the year. Elected officials, including U.S. Congressman, Drew Ferguson, and Georgia Public Service Commissioner (PSC), Tricia Pridemore, were in attendance and spoke on the importance of bridging the digital divide in rural areas like that of West Georgia. Long before the pandemic shined a light on the relevance of telecommuting and telemedicine, representatives for the state had been campaigning for such a change to be made for the widespread access of high-speed internet.

Georgia PSC Approves Measures to Promote Broadband Investment

Posted on 8732 Efforts to provide broadband in unserved areas of Georgia took another step forward today following a Public Service Commission (PSC) decision which determines the fee paid by cable companies to attach wires and cables to electric membership cooperative (EMC) utility poles. In today’s administrative session, the Commission unanimously approved a motion requiring EMCs to lower the pole attachment rate for new attachments in areas of the state that are unserved by broadband to $1, per pole, per year, for six years. This financial incentive, called the One Buck Deal, will be given to any qualified broadband provider that will agree to deliver new high-speed internet service in an area that is determined to be “unserved” by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Broadband Initiative Maps.
