The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is seeking public comments on the future of the Part 36 separations rules. These rules help determine how costs are split between state and federal jurisdictions in the telecommunications industry. The FCC is considering whether these rules should be permanently frozen, reformed, or allowed to become outdated as technology and market conditions change. Comments are due by April 23, 2025, with reply comments due by May 8, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FCC wants to know what people think about some phone rules that decide who pays for what—states or the whole country. They're asking if these rules should stay the same, change, or go away because of new technology.
