HB 2325 Utility pole attachments; broadband service providers.
Introduced by: J. Randall Minchew | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Utility pole attachments; broadband service providers. Requires each public utility, including electric cooperatives, to provide broadband service providers with neutral and nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct, conduit, or right-of-way it owns or controls. The State Corporation Commission (SCC) is authorized to determine just and reasonable rates, terms, conditions, and costs for such attachments to its poles. The existing provisions that address pole attachments by telecommunications service providers and cable television systems are conformed to these new provisions for broadband service providers. The SCC is directed, in implementing the provisions of this measure, to rely on interpretations by the Federal Communications Commission and the federal judiciary of terms and concepts included in this measure that are used or defined in the pole attachments section of the federal Communications Act.
