AT&T: FCC docket 26-293

AT&T has asked the FCC for permission to stop offering home and business phone lines on the copper network in portions of certain wire centers located in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin, on or after April 2, 2027.

We matched it to 1,356 telephone exchanges in 11 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.
