    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a correction to a previously published rule aimed at adjusting unbundling and resale requirements to support technology upgrades and broadband deployment. The initial document from January 8, 2021, contained a typo, incorrectly mentioning "Availability of DS1 loops" instead of the correct term, "Availability of DS3 loops." This correction took effect on February 8, 2021. For any questions, Megan Danner from the FCC's Competition Policy Division is the point of contact.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC made a small fix to some rules by correcting a typo in their document to help make internet services better, changing the mention of "DS1 loops" to "DS3 loops". This is about making sure more people can have faster internet, and Megan from the FCC can answer questions if anyone's confused.

    The Federal Communications Commission has issued a new rule that changes several unbundling and resale requirements for telecommunications services. The rule eliminates certain obligations that require incumbent local exchange carriers (LECs) to offer unbundled access to their network elements, such as loop and transport facilities, where there is sufficient evidence of competition. The rule also ends the Avoided-Cost Resale requirements, which previously allowed competitive carriers to resell services at discounted rates, except for 911/E911 databases and operations support systems used for remaining obligations. The decision aims to encourage the transition to next-generation networks and services by removing outdated regulations where competition now exists.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made a new rule that lets big phone companies stop sharing their wires with other companies in places where lots of other phone or internet companies already compete. This change helps the big companies build better and faster networks but some small companies might find it harder to compete.
