CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Regulators from New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont are expected to question FairPoint executives next month about the troubled communication company's problems.
All three states have held hearings with FairPoint, but this will be the first time they have teamed up for questioning at a hearing scheduled for Sept. 9. The location wasn't specified.
FairPoint bought telephone and Internet service operations from Verizon last year, but has been plagued with customer service and system problems since. Problems escalated in February when FairPoint cut over to a new computer system.
The hearing will be open to the public, but only public uiltity commissioners from the three states will be able to ask questions.
