Two public events will be held in Westfield on Tuesday, October 20, 2009 regarding the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission's (IURC's) pending investigation of E.com Technologies, LLC - doing business as FirstMile. Both events will take place at Centennial Bible Church, 720 Liberty Drive:

• At 5:30 p.m., the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) will conduct an information meeting to discuss the utility regulatory process and describe field hearing procedures.
• At 6:00 p.m., the IURC will conduct a formal public field hearing to accept oral and written comments from consumers. All comments provided during the field hearing will become part of the evidentiary record considered by the IURC in reaching its final decision in the case. Commissioners are not permitted to answer consumer questions during the formal field hearing.

E.com - doing business as FirstMile - provides telecommunications services, including telephone and video services, to customers in the Centennial neighborhood in Westfield. The IURC initiated this case in May 2009 to review the company's compliance with previous Commission orders and with state laws and regulations.
