  • 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.

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.
