As changes occur in the telecommunications industry on local, state and national levels, MACTA will serve as an advocacy group to:
- Ensure local governments have a voice and a place at the policy-making table.
- Serve as a resource of accurate information for public officials when they are making policy decisions in telecommunications.
- Work creatively with all those involved to resolve issues facing the telecommunications industry.
- Create a level playing field, treating all service and technology providers in an equitable, non-discriminatory manner while insuring compensation for public rights-of-way and the provision of PEG access.
