Nitel: FCC docket 25-1
Nitel has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering legacy analog voice services (i.e., Plain Old Telephone Services, or "POTS") in Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington., as of February 14, 2025.
Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on February 14, 2025. 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 Nitel, it applies to you; the FCC docket has the full details.
