Georgia is a unique state. It is the largest state east of the Mississippi and has more counties than any other state in US with the exception of Texas. It has large metropolitan areas, wide ranging mountains, and vast farmlands. It counts the headquarters of many Fortune 500 companies and hosts a strong agricultural industry that is the state's largest economic engine.
As Governor Perdue has stated, broadband is the new dial tone. It is fundamental to continuing to make our state great and is key to reducing the great distances we have. It improves our quality of life and speeds our economic transactions. It enriches our educational systems and lets any student compete on a level playing field.
This site is dedicated to continuing to improve Georgia's broadband infrastructure, offerings, and utilization. It's goal is to promote collaboration across public, private and nonprofit sectors.
Recently the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act has provided stimulus funding for broadband infrastructure and community outreach. This site tracks and monitors Georgia's broadband stimulus projects.
