California: AT&T Fined For Not Meeting PUC Standards

Via CBS5.com.

The California Public Utilities Commission Thursday ordered AT&T Inc. California to pay a $900,000 penalty for failing to meet a PUC-established out-of-service standard in 2006 to repair and restore customers' services after a first time outage.

In 2000, PUC adopted standards for the time it takes the phone company to repair and restore a customer's services after an outage.

The standards are 29.3 hours for an initial outage and 39.4 hours for a repeat outage within 30 days after the initial outage, according to PUC.

In 2006, AT&T met the standard for repeat outages but fell short in three months of meeting the initial outage standard, PUC officials said.
