Here are some quotes that Georgia’s Public Service Commission’s (PSC) Chairman has made while ‘representing’ Georgia’s consumers.
On February 24, 2004 Stan Wise pleaded to Congress and the FCC regarding VOIP regulations. Wise’s concern was not in keeping this competitive service free from overburdening regulations, but instead whining that the states would lose billions every year through telephone taxes. Shouldn’t your PSC representative work to save you money?
Without the ability to tax VOIP, states could eventually lose $13 billion a year, added Stan Wise, a commissioner with the Georgia Public Service Commission and president of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. States aren’t interested in creating new telecommunications taxes, but they don’t want to lose the taxes and fees they’re currently collecting, he said.
