Global Crossing (Lumen): FCC docket 25-105

Global Crossing (Lumen) has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering business copper phone services (business lines, PBX trunks, ISDN and similar) in Alabama, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, as of June 24, 2025.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on March 29, 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 Global Crossing (Lumen), it applies to you; the FCC docket has the full details.
