Throwback Thursday photo to a great virtual panel with Drew Clark of Breakfast Media LLC (and Caroline Boothe Olsen and Gary Wood) about broadband deployment and railroad crossings. I represent the broadband "side" of this dispute but am somewhat unique in that I have often represented the utility side of shared infrastructure and still do, so my perspective sometimes ends up closer to the middle of the road on shared access. Sharing critical infrastructure is a balancing act. Few if any stakeholders want to see truly egregious practices happen. At the same time, I have seen fights over these issues get bigger than they have to be when the owner side's issues aren't heard. That problem can happen several ways. One, the owner side accurately and fairly presents the issues but nobody listens. I have definitely seen that happen. Two, the owner side does not participate, or does not do the best job advocating for itself and its industry. In the #infrastructure world we are seeing more collaboration than I have ever seen in my career. I am hopeful we will see the same thing happen in shared infrastructure. As an example, I was surprised to see the level of agreement in the recent #FCC pole replacement proceeding. Clearly things have developed from the WW3 level battles in that area that was just starting to wind down when I started practice. #broadband #telecommunications #utility #utilities #railroads #deployment #throwbackthursday

AT&T Applies To End Obligation To Service Landlines In California: AT&T is applying to end its obligation to service landlines in certain areas of California. "The application is pending under the California Public Utilities Commission, but the end of a landline means the end of communication for some people," reports CBS News. From the report: The company said in a statement to CBS13: "Our application seeks approval from the CPUC to remove outdated regulations in California and to help the limited remaining landline consumers transition to modern, alternative services to replace their current outdated ones. All AT&T California customers will continue to receive their traditional landline services until an alternative service becomes available by AT&T or another provider." The CPUC will be holding four public hearings on the matter through March. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
