ORDER OF DISMISSAL
Adopted:  May 7, 2007 Released:  May 7, 2007
By the Chief, Market Disputes Resolution Division, Enforcement Bureau:
1. On April 25, 2007, the complainant, Charter Communications (“Charter”), filed a motion 
to withdraw with prejudice1 the Complaint that Charter filed against respondent, Alabama Power
Company (“Alabama Power”), on July 21, 2006.2 In short, the Complaint alleges that Alabama Power
violated section 224 of the Communications Act3 by imposing unjust and unreasonable rates, terms and 
conditions of pole attachment.4 The Motion states that the parties have “entered into a Settlement 
Agreement effective as of April 23, 2007 releasing all claims against the other party,” and that “further 
litigation of the issues raised in Charter’s Complaint [is] unnecessary.”5
2. We are satisfied that dismissing the Complaint will serve the public interest by promoting 
the private resolution of disputes and by eliminating the need for further litigation and the expenditure of 
further time and resources of the parties and this Commission.
3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to sections 1, 4(i), 4(j), and 224 of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§ 151, 154(i), 154(j), and 224, and the authority
