AT&T: FCC docket 26-162

AT&T has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering home and business phone lines on the copper network in portions of 39 wire centers in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, as of September 12, 2026.

We matched it to 1,170 telephone exchanges in 9 states. A filing that covers "portions" of a state doesn't list addresses, so a line in one of these towns may or may not be included.
