Upcoming Elections Impact Broadband Internet
Access to broadband internet is one of the biggest challenges facing the telecommunications industry, both in Tennessee and across the nation.
That’s why it’s important to know where each candidate stands on broadband deployment.
While the Tennessee Telecommunications Association doesn’t endorse candidates, it urges all members to learn each candidate’s policy positions before committing to a candidate.
“It’s important to vote for someone who relates to our ideals,” says Levoy Knowles, executive director of the TTA.“The TTA is the winner if we elect candidates who understand the importance of broadband and what it means to our future.”
