Description
Description | A $1.2 billion broadband investment plan in West Virginia is facing delays due to disputes between internet service providers and utility companies over who should pay for replacing and upgrading aging utility poles. The poles, owned by American Electric Power and FirstEnergy, are often decades old and not suitable for modern broadband equipment, requiring replacement or upgrades to meet safety codes. The disagreement centers on cost-sharing for these pole replacements, which can cost $4,000 or more per pole, and the lack of a statewide pole condition database is complicating the issue further. |
