纽约州公共服务委员会就座机停办申请向联邦通信委员会提交意见
纽约州公共服务委员会（PSC）已就联邦通信委员会（FCC）10月5日发布的公告提交意见，对 AT&T 等运营商申请停办传统座机服务的程序安排提出挑战。委员会的意见于10月20日提交。
依 FCC 的安排，相关停办申请若无人提出有效异议，将于11月5日自动获批。涉及的运营商包括 PrimePath 与 Business Local Exchange 等，影响范围涵盖34个州与华盛顿特区。
纽约州公共服务委员会在意见中主张，座机服务仍是不少居民——尤其是偏远地区与老年用户——的唯一可靠通讯方式，停办审查应充分评估对这类用户的影响。

New York PSC Challenges AT&T Landline Wind-Down in FCC Filing
New York's Public Service Commission (PSC) has filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission on its October 5 public notice, challenging the process for carrier applications — including AT&T's — to discontinue traditional landline service. The commission filed its comments on October 20.
Under the FCC's framework, the discontinuance applications will be automatically approved on November 5 unless valid objections are raised. Carriers involved include PrimePath and Business Local Exchange, and the proceedings span 34 states and Washington, D.C.
The PSC argued that landline service remains the only reliable communications option for many residents, particularly in rural areas and among older users, and that the review should fully weigh the impact on them.
