Nick Freitas: Government barriers to expanding technology must be stopped

As someone who doesn't have broadband myself, I understand the frustration. An estimate to lay fiber optic cable from the road to my house have run as high as $22,000. The GA has already passed legislation in the 2017 session which will help alleviate this problem by removing many onerous regulations and restrictions which have prevented broadband providers from being able to reach underserved areas. We need to continue to take down government imposed barriers to technological expansion.
