Early last month we reported that the FCC is seeking input on various ways in which the transition from the legacy copper network to Internet protocol (IP) technology will affect consumers and competitive providers. If you’re planning on tossing in your two cents’ worth, you now know the deadlines by which you’ll have to do so, because the FCC’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking has now made it into the Federal Register: comments are due by February 5, 2015, and replies by March 9. Comments are replies may be filed through the FCC’s ECFS online filing system; refer to Proceeding Nos. 14-174, 13-5, 05-25, RM-11358 and RM-10593 (use the “Add another proceeding” button to get them all in).
