Ky. Cable Group Praises Revised State Pole Attachment Rules

Changes in Kentucky's pole attachment rules “provide more clarity that will likely reduce the potential for friction between pole owners and attachers during the steps leading up to broadband deployment,” the Kentucky Broadband and Cable Association (KBCA) said in a Friday filing at the Kentucky Public Service Commission (docket 2023-00416). The Kentucky PSC posted the emergency amendments on Aug. 16 after reviewing comments (see 2408010031). Cable companies “look forward to working with pole owners to operationalize these amended emergency regulations in the field,” KBCA said.
