Global Crossing (Lumen): FCC docket 24-23
Global Crossing (Lumen) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering copper phone service (legacy voice) in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, as of March 1, 2024.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on March 1, 2024. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice
This filing comes from a company that sells lines over another phone company's network, or it names cities or customers rather than telephone exchanges, so we don't match it to town pages. If you buy phone lines from Global Crossing (Lumen), it applies to you; the FCC docket has the full details.
