Does it refer to this?? Hmm.... https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-10-72A1.pdf ORDER Adopted: April 28, 2010 Released: May 4, 2010 [..snip..] 1. In this Order, we ask the Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service (Joint Board) to review the Commission~s eligibility, verification, and outreach rules for the Lifeline and Link Up universal service programs, which currently provide discounts on telephone service for low-income customers. Specifically, we ask the Joint Board to recommend any changes to these aspects of the [..snip..snip..] Dont see any mandate, let alone about copper. -- //Shrikumar ---Original Message---

Maybe the political and regulatory environment is currently allowing them to get on with it in some areas? I don t think there is an FCC rule requiring the fiber as much as allowing the removal of copper.

The property owner, not the network operators (or users of unbundled elements if that's even still a thing) are being presented with an agreement that acknowledges the removal, authorizes the fiber installation and provides for a minor oversight of the design. It suggests that no costs are involved in terms of hosting equipment. No power reimbursement. No rent for spaces used. There is an ominous paragraph in the letter that says if the property owner doesn't comply that tenants will lose all services including elevator phones, alarms, voice, internet and any copper/ds0 originated services. They didn't say 911, but that would go without saying. Has anyone heard of this? What FCC rule requires this? Thanks for any insights. Warm regards, Martin
