Centurylink, Verizon, and Windstream chafe at 90-day copper retirement [telecom]
CenturyLink, Verizon and Windstream are once again engaged in a battle over the timelines for copper retirement set by the FCC at a time when new Chairman Ajit Pai is looking to reverse rules set in place by his predecessor Tom Wheeler.
In its 2015 Technology Transitions Order, the FCC under Wheeler proposed giving competitive carriers and businesses six-month' notice, while residential customers get three months' notice before copper facilities are shut down.
