Verizon and Frontier: FCC docket 26-171

Verizon and Frontier has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering business copper phone services (business lines, PBX trunks, ISDN and similar) in Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin, on or after November 16, 2026.

We matched it to 845 telephone exchanges in 8 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.
