So many buildings downtown were getting filled up with telecom and data equipment that the Atlanta city council passed a law about a decade ago to keep it from pushing out all other uses. There are lots of historic buildings that are little more than facades wrapped around these places due to how much fiber runs through downtown making it a very attractive place to locate. The city wants more people downtown so they'd prefer more housing, offices, retail, and hotels (human, not telecom). The law seems to have worked or at least contributed to helping to rebalance uses there.
