MEETING — House Technology and Infrastructure Committee Daniel Linville, R-Cabell, chairs a meeting Wednesday.
CHARLESTON — A committee in the House of Delegates charged with improving West Virginia’s broadband infrastructure is seeking documents from Frontier Communications on its progress.
The House Technology and Infrastructure Committee voted Wednesday to submit a formal request for information and documents to Frontier. The committee also issued an invitation for representatives of Frontier to attend a committee meeting scheduled for March 10.
The committee is seeking documents related to Frontier’s maintenance, compliance, and performance; and its progress on the Federal Communications Commission’s Connect America Fund Phase II broadband expansion projects. Frontier had accepted FCC Connect America Fund dollars in 2015 to expand broadband to 89,190 locations in West Virginia by the end of 2020.
