Revised Pole Attachment Rules Will Increase Competition, N.Y. PSC Told

New York state broadband policy should increase focus on competition, said Greenlight Networks in comments Monday at the New York Public Service Commission. “Increased competition brings lower prices, higher quality, better reliability, and more innovation,” the fiber ISP said in a proceeding on mapping broadband availability. Most locations in about 70% of New York counties have only one company offering broadband ISP, it said. The PSC should update pole attachment rules, which currently "are exacerbating the problem," Greenlight added.
