  • 2021-00287 — Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8872
    Reading Time:about 20 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has denied Public Knowledge's request to reconsider a 2018 decision related to simplifying the process for carriers to discontinue older voice services as part of a technology transition. The FCC found that the concerns raised by Public Knowledge had already been addressed, including issues about Federal agencies being negatively affected and the adequacy of replacement services. The FCC explained that new streamlined options allow carriers to focus on upgrading to next-generation networks while ensuring customers have access to comparable voice services. Additionally, a motion to delay implementing the decision, pending an appeal, was dismissed as irrelevant since the appeal was denied.

    Simple Explanation

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decided not to change a rule about getting rid of old phone services so that new and better networks can be built, making sure people still have good phone service during this change. They also said that a request to stop the rule while a court decision was pending doesn't matter anymore because the court already made its decision.

  • 2021-02678 — Wireless E911 Location Accuracy Requirements
    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 8714
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a final rule that dismisses two petitions for reconsideration filed by CTIA and the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International, Inc. (APCO). These petitions were related to the FCC's previous decision on wireless E911 location accuracy improvements. The petitions were dismissed because they were considered repetitive, untimely, and lacking sufficient justification. The FCC's decision means that the requirements for enhanced location accuracy for emergency calls will remain as planned without additional changes.

    Simple Explanation

    The FCC decided to stick with their earlier plan to make emergency phone calls more accurate for finding people, ignoring requests from two groups who wanted them to think again because they didn't give new reasons.
