NY PSC Clears Frontier Action Plan

The New York Public Service Commission voted 4-0 to clear a Frontier Communications action plan for emerging from bankruptcy. The telco submitted the plan in January required by the PSC in its October OK of the Chapter 11 reorganization (see 2010160044). It describes how Frontier will enhance service quality and network reliability. "We will have to remain very vigilant on this company in particular” to make sure they meet performance standards, said interim Chair John Howard at the commission’s livestreamed Thursday meeting. It exited Chapter 11 two weeks ago (see 2104300058). The approved plan includes $12.5 million for projects in 24 central offices identified as needing improvement, said the PSC. The company didn't comment.
