N.Y. Commissioners Grant Dish Wireless ETC Status

The New York Public Service Commission granted a Dish Wireless petition for eligible telecom carrier designation. Thursday's unanimous action clears Dish to receive federal USF and wireless Lifeline service throughout the state. Commissioners also received a report on Verizon service quality in Q3 2022. Verizon satisfied timeliness-of-repair and repair call center answer time metrics in all three months, said a summary. But Verizon missed a companywide customer trouble report rate metric and the PSC’s guideline for complaint rate in all three months, it said.
