Integrated Broadband Services (IBBS) has moved to a new, larger customer call facility in Cartersville, and added 30 employees.According to a company spokesperson, having the call center in Cartersville allows the company greater access to graduates from several technical schools.
IBBS offers software and services for cable operators and broadband Internet service providers.
As result of a search warrant executed recently by GBI Agents and the Bartow County Sheriff's Office at a residence in Cartersville, a 38-year-old man has been charged with three counts of possession of child pornography. James Dustin Barnette was arrested at his home on Highland Drive in Cartersville after agents discovered numerous images and movie files of suspected child pornography on his computer.
The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC), which is part of the GBI's High Technology Unit, received a CyberTip from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) regarding Barnette's possible involvement in sharing suspected child pornography over the Internet.
Barnette, a former law enforcement officer, was taken to the Bartow County Jail. Additional charges are pending a forensic analysis of his computer by the GBI's High Technology Unit.
