Because of the state’s preemption law, South Carolina’s BEAD plan concluded: “no government entity has chosen to make a filing at the Public Service Commission of South Carolina to declare an area is unserved and that the government entity seeks to provide retail Internet service in that unserved area,” adding how the South Carolina Broadband Office “may raise any concerns for the consideration of the State General Assembly.”
Those concerns were either never raised or put on the back-burner as South Carolina’s preemption laws remain in place.
