EEI Emphasizes Importance of Flexibility in Pole Attachment Rules

Representatives of the Edison Electric Institute met with an aide to FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel about the group’s stance on pole attachment rules. “EEI emphasized the need for a flexible approach to timelines for ‘Large Orders,’ as a one-size-fits-all approach would be impractical,” said a filing posted Monday in docket 17-84: “Any make-ready timeline for Large Orders must account for unpredictable and unavoidable operational issues outside the pole owner’s control.”
