Ms. Cooper reviewed her Decision Memo. Commissioner Kjellander asked rhetorically how long land line service had been out in New Orleans. Commissioner Smith noted that the provision of emergency services is either a local or a county function and is not regulated by the state, and therefore, the PUC has no jurisdiction even it were to open a formal complaint. There were no further comments. Commissioner Kjellander moved that the Commission has no basis for initiating a formal complaint against Frontier Communications in this matter.
