Some relevant PUC documents

Recent NHISPA action

Early in 2000 the NHISPA responded to PUC staff data requests and to data requests by the Office of the Consumer Advocate as this docket went into a formal process. Some NHISPA responses were deemed insufficient by the PUC staff and the NHISPA was presented with a PUC order to compel responses by the end of June, 2000, with which the NHISPA complied.

In August/September 2000 a series of settlement conferences was convened at the PUC offices. These did not yield a conclusion.

In November 2000 two days of formal hearings were held before PUC commissioners on this docket. Testimony was given by members of the NHISPA, by representatives from Verizon, by PUC Staff, and others. Following these hearings, time was allowed for a set of additional data requests of various parties to be answered. The next step will likely be for the commissioners to make a ruling.
