7/8/2008

ATLANTA –Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) has appointed Representative Chuck Martin (R-Alpharetta) to the House Study Committee on Telecommunications Competition Review.

“I am confident that Representative Martin will be an asset to this study committee. He is an extremely diligent worker and I know he will work well with the other representatives appointed to this committee,” Richardson said.

House Resolution 1288, the House Study Committee on Telecommunications Competition Review, was created to study of the level of inter-carrier compensation and the effect on competition and economic development in Georgia for 12 years in the telecommunications industry. Since enacting the Telecommunications and Competition Development Act of 1995, the legislature has been committed to the promotion of market based competition to promote telecommunications to the benefit of Georgia's citizens state wide.

“Telecommunications is so important in our world today, I look forward to working on this committee to develop and promote a plan to increase competition and spur economic development in Georgia,” said Representative Martin.
