Charter Spectrum Gets Brief Reprieve in New York

By Joseph Spector 

ALBANY -- Charter Spectrum on Wednesday received an extension from regulators to come up with a plan to exit New York amid an ongoing fight over its ability to expand internet services across the state.

The state Public Service Commission gave the embattled company until Nov. 8 to come up with a six-month exit plan, also giving the company an extension until Oct. 10 to seek a hearing on the state's effort to kick it out of New York.

The commission noted the reason for the extensions include the "productive dialogue that is ongoing between the Company and Staff, the commitments made by Charter not to air false or misleading advertisements, the work underway by the Company to comply with the network expansion condition."

The deadlines had been in late September or early October.
