AT&T: FCC docket 26-208

AT&T has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering Optical Carrier Network Point to Point service; LightGate (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA Point to Point Network) Special Access Service; Dedicated SONET Ring Service, and SMARTRing Service in portions of certain AT&T wire centers located in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, on or after September 1, 2027.

Nothing stopped this request, so under FCC rules it was approved automatically on October 18, 2026. The phone company still has to notify customers before it changes their service. FCC notice

This filing is about Optical Carrier Network Point to Point service; LightGate (a.k.a. BellSouth SPA Point to Point Network) Special Access Service; Dedicated SONET Ring Service, and SMARTRing Service, not ordinary copper phone lines. We list it so the record is complete.
