Finally, the PUC acts on some theory other than "trust us" or "believe us":
AUGUSTA -- Utility regulators Tuesday ordered FairPoint Communications to pay more than $400,000 it owes in penalties for failing to provide adequate service to local carriers.

But the Public Utilities Commission also extended a deadline allowing FairPoint to reapply for a waiver that prevents it from paying an additional $1 million in penalties.
It remains to be seen what will be done about this disaster, but overall this should be seen as a sign of the PUC awaking from its long slumber on FairPoint.
