[1st-mile-nm] Qwest Data Center Hearing at PRC

[Ripperger, Michael, PRC]

Richard, 

Thanks for posting this issue on the list. There will probably be a
quick intervention deadline, and an opportunity at a minimum for public
comment at the hearing. However, public comment is not considered
evidence, but intervention and testimony will. I will forward the
Commission order once I can find it, which should contain the relevant
details.

Subject: Re: [1st-mile-nm] Qwest Data Center Hearing at PRC

This morning, Carroll Cagle forwarded an article from the Alb. Journal
regarding
the PRC hearing today, about Qwest's proposed Data Center, and its
request to
use $10 million of the AFOR Settlement Agreement fund for this.   The
article
provides additional background information.

I ran over to attend.  Qwest and NM DoIT representatives made brief
counter
presentations and remarks.   The question is whether this is a legal and
otherwise appropriate use of AFOR Settlement funds, or not.
Representatives
of Qwest competitors, Big Byte, Oso Grande and NMIPA, were not in
attendence
today.
No decisions made today.  The PRC decided to move quickly, and to hold
an
Evidentiary Hearing on Mon. the 28th, 9:30; and Oral Arguements on the
29th.  
Decisions to follow.


If anyone on this list has more detailed (or correcting) information,
please
keep us posted.
Richard
