CHARLESTON The West Virginia Public Service Commission could approve Frontier Communication’s bankruptcy reorganization plan next month, though Frontier plans to use its winning bid of federal rural broadband dollars to sweeten the deal, raising concerns.
Last Friday, the PSC made available the joint stipulation and settlement agreement between Frontier, PSC staff, and PSC Consumer Advocate Division, and the Communication Workers of America union. If approved by the full commission on Jan. 19, West Virginia would be the 11th state to accept Frontier’s bankruptcy reorganization plan.
According to the proposed agreement, Frontier’s operations in West Virginia would be known as “InvestCo.” As part of the designation, Frontier agreed to voluntarily deploy gigabit broadband services to no less than 150,000 locations in West Virginia by Dec. 31, 2027.
