INkantolo Ephakeme yaseGeorgia ngoMsombuluko ivuselele icala elishubile idolobha lase-Atlanta eliphikisana nezinkampani zezokuvakasha eziku-inthanethi ezithi amafemu afaka izigidi zamadola ngokungemthetho emalini yentela yamahhotela.
Idolobha lafaka icala ngo-2006 ngokumelene nezinkampani zokubhuka zokuhamba ze-inthanethi eziyi-17, okuhlanganisa i-Expedia, Travelocity.com, Hotels.com, Priceline.com kanye ne-Obitz. Icala lifuna ukubuyisela intela yehhotela neyokuhlala.
Esinqumweni sika-5-2, inkantolo yatshela ijaji laseFulton County ukuthi linqume inhliziyo yecala elibucayi: noma ngabe izinkampani ze-inthanethi zingaphansi kwentela.
Intela yehhotela neyokuhlala yehhotela lase-Atlanta namakamelo amamotela ingamaphesenti angu-7. Idolobhakazi lisebenzisa imali eningi yentela ukuthuthukisa ezokuvakasha.
Ngokuvumelana nalokho, idolobha lase-Atlanta lithi izinkampani zokubhukha ku-inthanethi, njengabathengisi bamagumbi amahhotela, kufanele ziqoqe intela yehhotela neyokuhlala kumakhasimende azo futhi ziwakhokhele edolobheni.
Ngemuva kokufakwa kwecala, izinkampani zokubhukha ku-inthanethi zasukuma zalichitha icala ngesizathu sokuthi idolobha laphuthuma enkantolo ngaphambi kokuba lisebenzise amakhambi alo okuphatha.
Ijaji laseFulton County lavuma, njengoba kwenza iNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala YaseGeorgia.
Kodwa ngoMsombuluko, iNkantolo Ephakeme yezwe yachitha lezo zinqumo.
“Ngokubona kwethu, idolobha ngeke lidingeke ukuthi lisebenzise inqubo yokuphatha njengemfuneko yokuthola isinqumo sokuthi umthetho obeka leyo nqubo uyasebenza kwasekuqaleni,” uJaji uCarol Hunstein wabhalela iningi.
Icala lase-Atlanta libhekwe ngabomvu ohulumeni basekhaya kanye nemboni yezokuvakasha ku-inthanethi. Lethwe ngesikhathi lapho abantu abaningi benza ukubhukha kwamahhotela ku-inthanethi.
Izinkampani zokuhamba nge-inthanethi zingaphansi kokuhlaselwa okusemthethweni kulo lonke elase-Georgia - kanye nakuzwelonke - njengoba amadolobha nezifunda zifuna ukubuyisela imali yentela abathi ingeyazo ngokufanelekile. Icala lesenzo sekilasi elimele amadolobha ase-Georgia lilindile ngokumelene nezinkampani zokuvakasha ze-inthanethi eziyi-18 eNkantolo Yesifunda yase-US eRome.
