Time Warner Cable Information Services ("TSWCIS") has petitioned the PSC for relaxation of regulations governing its telephone service provided to residential customers through its Voice Over Internet Protocol ("VOIP") technology, which uses cable lines to deliver phone service, broad band service, and TV service. See Time Warner Asks PSC to Greenlight Friday Afternoon and Saturday Phone Shutoffs for Collection Purposes, and to Relax Other Consumer Protections, June 20, 2013.
TWCIS also seeks waiver of the obligation to provide directories, and to limit its service quality obligations to a narrowed definition of "core" customers.
The notice is as follows:
The SAPA Notice was issued June 19, and the standard 45 day comment period expires August 3, though that could be enlarged or late comments may be accepted after that date.
The Public Utility Law Project of New York has asked for more information in a discovery request to TWCIS.
