Updates in FCC's Pole Attachment Proceeding

Keller and Heckman's client the Coalition of Concerned Utilities (Consumers Energy, Detroit Edison, FirstEnergy, Hawaiian Electric, NSTAR, Pepco and Xcel) attacked the FCC Pole Attachment Order before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The Coalition's Intervenors' Brief seeks to overturn two key aspects of the FCC's decision: the assertion of jurisdiction for the first time over ILEC attachments and the dramatic reduction of the Telecom Rate down to the Cable Rate.
