Pa. PUC Judges' Decision Would OK Frontier Settlement

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission would approve a proposed Frontier Communications settlement entirely and without modification under an initial decision by Administrative Law Judges Steven Haas and John Coogan. The PUC posted it Thursday in docket C-2023-3037574. Under the pact with Pennsylvania’s consumer advocate, Frontier agreed to spend $100 million on its Pennsylvania network through 2026 and give bill credits to customers with service problems prospectively and retroactively (see 2310260023). Any exceptions to the initial decision are due April 10, with replies due April 20, the PUC said. If no exceptions arrive, the ALJs’ decision “could become final without further Commission action,” it said.
