Ohio PUC Revises Carrier-to-Carrier Rules

The Ohio Public Utilities Commission adopted revisions proposed by staff to local exchange carrier-to-carrier rules, said a Wednesday order in docket 22-48-TP-ORD. State law requires agencies to review rules every five years to decide if they should be continued, amended or cut. The commission sought to make rules consistent with FCC bill-and-keep determinations from a 2011 Connect America Fund order, said the PUC: Other changes were minor. The Ohio PUC also adopted some edits proposed to rules on access to poles, ducts, conduits and rights of way, said another Wednesday order (docket 22-827-AU-ORD).
