9. Implementation of Rule Changes

The effective date for implementation of Rule 94 shall be no later than 180 days after issuance of the final decision in this proceeding. The adoption of the Rule 94 will require utilities to change their company standards, communicate the changes to field personnel, and conduct varying degrees of training prior to full implementation of the rule.

Rule 94 is not retroactive. It, therefore, does not affect wireless antennas already installed on utility poles through private agreements between antenna owners and joint pole operators.
