Charter Statement on FCC’s Proceeding on Resolving Pole Replacement Disputes

“Charter applauds the FCC’s continued steps forward to facilitate broadband deployment across the U.S. through timely, fair, and cost-effective access to utility poles. Pole attachment regulation significantly impacts how quickly a provider is able to connect families and small businesses to high-speed internet service, especially in unserved, rural areas that require access to multiple poles to connect each home. We greatly appreciate Chairwoman Rosenworcel’s leadership in launching this proceeding, which is a critical first step in ensuring more people get online faster and achieving 100% connectivity across the U.S.”
