FCC Should Enforce Current Pole Attachment Rules: Extenet

The FCC should move cautiously in revising rules for pole attachments, representatives of infrastructure builder Extenet said in a meeting with aides to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. Commissioners approved a Further NPRM in 2023 about resolving pole attachment disputes more quickly (see 2312130044). “Extenet encouraged the Commission to focus on enforcing current regulations to promote transparency and communication, rather than repealing … regulations,” said a filing posted Friday in docket 17-84. “Current regulations balance the needs of both utilities and attachers and should be enforced.”
