Charter Leaving N.H. PUC's Consolidated/Condor Review

Charter Communications will withdraw from a New Hampshire review of Consolidated Communications’ deal with Condor Holdings, said Charter at the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission on Thursday. “Charter no longer wishes to be a participant in the proceeding,” said the cable company, which in April sought conditions related to wholesale intercarrier relationships (see 2404290007). Charter filed a similar letter the same day to withdraw from reviews of the transaction at the Vermont Public Utility Commission and at the Maine PUC. Charter didn’t comment further Friday. New Hampshire towns Benton and Greenfield also recently withdrew as intervenors. New Hampshire Electric Cooperative withdrew objections to the deal last month after settling with Consolidated (see 2405210043). Consolidated seeks states' approvals to transfer indirect ownership and control of its local subsidiaries to Condor, a subsidiary of private equity firm Searchlight (docket DT 23-103).
