Conn. Regulator Delays Frontier Probe

Briefs in a Connecticut Frontier Communications probe will be due May 17, the state’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority said Tuesday. PURA granted an Office of Consumer Counsel (OCC) request to extend the deadline from April 4 in docket 24-01-15. The office sought more time “because full discovery has not yet been completed and essential members of OCC staff will be on medical leave until May,” the agency said. OCC asked PURA to investigate Frontier service quality in January (see 2401080041).
