Verizon, N.Y. Town Seek More Time to Settle Wireless Dispute

Settlement talks continue between Verizon and Saugerties, New York, in a wireless infrastructure dispute, the town said Tuesday at the U.S. District Court for Northern New York (docket 1:22-cv-107). The parties “have worked diligently in attempting to reach a resolution with respect to all claims which are the subject of the present lawsuit,” but “those discussions have not been completed.” Parties remain “optimistic” about finding agreement but seek a 90-day extension to the Oct. 31 dispositive motion deadline, said Saugerties. Across the U.S., the wireless industry continues to litigate against some localities while settling with others over denied applications (see 2210070046).
