As electric utilities faced Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s Two Storm Panel this week, at least one wireless telephone provider is working to avoid public scrutiny of their performance by the Connecticut Siting Council (CSC).
The CSC sent the state’s wireless providers a survey on Sept. 22 requesting information on network performance following Tropical Storm Irene.
