    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.
