Ga. PSC to Vote Tuesday on Keeping $1 Pole Attachments

The Georgia Public Service Commission will vote Tuesday on a pact between cable and electric cooperatives to keep the state’s one dollar pole attachment policy, commissioners decided at a telecom committee hearing webcast Thursday. In December 2020, the Georgia Public Service Commission required that ISPs pay only $1 per pole annually for attaching to electric co-op infrastructure. Cable companies and co-ops agreed last month to cancel a required biennial review of the program (see 2211300054).
