Larry Rulison is reporting for the Times Union Charter Communications has been fined $2 million by the state Public Service Commission for failing to expand its cable network quickly enough in New York. Charter is required to expand its network to provide more high-speed Internet service options to state residents under the terms of an agreement with the PSC as a condition of Charter's 2016 merger with Time Warner Cable. The expansion is supposed to bring high speed Internet to 145,000 New Yorkers. The PSC previously ruled that thousands of addresses Charter claimed it had expanded to were not eligible under the agreement and threatened to levy a fine of $1 million. On June 14, the PSC found the company did not correct the problem in time and fined Charter an additional $1 million. Charter operates its cable TV, internet and phone services under the Spectrum name. Read the full story in the Times Union.
