A new report shows that the rural broadband situation in Georgia is worse than first thought

Lawmakers are trying to find ways to provide broadband service to people living in rural areas of Georgia. But that plan might be on hold. Federal Communications Commission data showed the limited reach of broadband, but a second look by Georgia has shown the data is all wrong. Georgia's Department of Community Affairs did its own broadband mapping, counting down to each customer with data from individual broadband providers. Georgia’s new statewide map is expected to be done by the summer of 2020.
