{Charleston, West Virginia}...The state Public Service Commission staff and the PSC's Consumer Advocate Division have recommended that $15.1 million be released from a quality-service escrow account to Frontier Communications for improvements the company has made to improve the network in West Virginia over the last 21 months. Verizon set up a $74 million quality-of-service escrow account by order of the Public Service Commission in May 2010. The money is to be drawn out, with approval of the commission. The PSC staff's recommendation does not guarantee the money will be released. The final decision rests with Public Service Commissioners Michael A. Albert, Jon McKinney and Ryan Palmer.
