USTelecom: FCC Shouldn't Micromanage Pole Attachments

USTelecom reiterated its position opposing new pole attachment rules (see 2504140049) in a filing posted Tuesday in docket 17-84. As broadband providers “with operational experience both owning and attaching to poles, USTelecom members urge the Commission to refrain from imposing prescriptive new regulations that will create further disputes, confusion, and inefficiencies,” it said: “Micro-managing the pole attachment process will not speed USTelecom members’ or any broadband service providers’ deployments, whether those are through government funding programs or through massive private investment.”
