The FCC has taken significant steps to facilitate the retirement of outdated copper lines in favor of modern high-speed networks. This move aims to address the demands for improved communications services among Americans. It will enable providers to streamline processes for discontinuing copper lines while ensuring consumer protections remain intact, such as affordable pricing and access to comparable services. The agency's Chairman highlighted the need for modern infrastructure as essential for meeting today's communication needs. The FCC believes these changes will lead to more efficient deployment of advanced network systems across the country.
Outdated FCC rules have left Americans sitting in the slow lane for far too long. We are streamlining the process for retiring decades-old copper networks.
The FCC's pro-consumer pricing protections will remain in place amid the transition from copper to more modern high-speed services.
