CHARLESTON The union representing the state and nation’s telecommunication workers is siding with Frontier Communications as Republican lawmakers call on the Federal Communications Commission to closely scrutinize Frontier’s winning bid for rural broadband projects.
Ed Mooney, the vice president of the Communications Workers of America District 2-13, wrote a letter to the FCC encouraging the federal agency to reject calls by congressional and state lawmakers to review the winning bid by Frontier in Phase I of the FCC’s Rural Digital Opportunity Fund auction.
“CWA has been a longtime leader in advocating for expanded broadband access, improvements to Frontier’s services quality in West Virginia, and accountability for customers,” Mooney wrote.
