CPUC Extends Pole Data Due Dates

The California Public Utilities Commission gave extensions Friday to several telecom companies seeking more time to provide pole attachment data to pole owners, as required by a 2021 CPUC decision (see 2308170022). CPUC Executive Director Rachel Peterson sent letters granting six-month extensions of various deadlines to Charter Communications, Comcast, Consolidated Communications, Cox, ExteNet, Sonic Telecom, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless. Peterson denied requests for different lengths of time requested by some of those companies. For those companies, the data is now due Feb. 29 to Pacific Gas & Electric, April 9 to AT&T and Frontier Communications and April 12 to Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). Also, the executive director granted a shorter Crown Castle request to submit data to AT&T, Frontier, SCE and SDG&E by Dec. 12 this year (docket I.17-06-027).
