Crown Castle won’t have to wait for new PG&E pole attachment terms, CPUC says
PG&E “wants a do-over on a utility pole access decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).” The CPUC “refused to delay execution of an arbitrated contract between PG&E and Crown Castle while commissioners decide what they’re going to do with the appeal filed by PG&E last month.” This decision “gives PG&E 45 days to approve or deny Crown Castle’s pole attachment requests. If the shot clock expires, Crown Castle can move ahead without permission and install fiber lines on PG&E poles.”
