TN Legislature: We Need Internet Choice!

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

We need to repeal the unfair and restrictive Tennessee Code, Section 7-52-103(c) and Section 7-52-601(a), to give ALL the citizens of Tennessee a chance to access fast, affordable and reliable broadband internet!

Why is this important?

In today's world, fast, affordable and reliable broadband internet access is crucial to the economic and educational well-being of communities. Internet access is no longer a luxury; it is a necessary utility in the same way that electric power became in an earlier day. The TN laws that prevent municipalities from building effective broadband networks need to be repealed. My son and I, along with many others, have been badly affected by the monopolistic situation that has resulted from these restrictive laws. Young people in school, professionals working from home, farmers in rural areas, all have been cut off from pursuing their education and careers. Time for a change!
