PSC Rejects Consumer Advocate Request
WEST VIRGINIA....
Monday, the West Virginia's Public Service Commission rejected a request filed by the agency's Consumer Advocate Division asking the commission to reconsider the sale of Verizon's landline phone service in the state to Frontier Communications while the consumer advocate sought an independent audit of the deal and other safeguards. The PSC says the division failed to present any new evidence justifying reconsideration in the $8.6 billion deal in which Verizon is selling 4.8 million landlines in 14 states to Frontier.
