Michigan Internet and Telecommunications Alliance (MITA) was formed as an outgrowth of the Michigan Communications Carriers Association, Internet Service Providers, Web hosting facilities, software programmers and engineers. All of these companies have a common interest in the core value of a fast robust communications infrastructure here in Michigan. It is the goal of this alliance to showcase the innovative technology that these companies are deploying and encourage policymakers to establish a regulatory framework for future growth that brings high-tech, communications-based jobs to Michigan and maximum choice to Michigan residents and businesses.

Dr. Gary Wolfram, President of the Hillsdale Policy Group and the William Simon Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Hillsdale College testified before the Michigan Senate Committee on Energy and Technology in March of 2011.
Dr. Wolfram testified why some regulation is still needed in the telecommunications industry in order for there to be a competitive market where consumers see lower prices and better service.
