    Why am I receiving this notice?
    Review full answer

    In October 2024, Verizon filed an application with the CPUC to request approval for their acquisition of Frontier companies in California. The Administrative Law Judge assigned to this proceeding requested that PPHs are held to hear from the public and ordered the applicant to notify its customers about them.

     

    How does this process work?
    Review full answer

    This application is assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge and a Commissioner, who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing processes. The Administrative Law Judge will then issue a proposed decision that may adopt Verizon's application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting.

    Parties involved in the application include the Public Advocates Office, which is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov, or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov.
