telecommunications regulation

The FCC is preparing to vote on a proposal that would restrict the use of offshore call centers by U.S.-based communications providers. The plan would impose new requirements for language proficiency, disclosure, onshore call transfer, and handling of sensitive customer data.

The Federal Communications Commission plans to vote on new rules designed to speed deployment of high‑speed networks. The proposal would remove certain filing requirements, streamline technology transition approvals, and allow carriers to retire legacy copper-based services in favor of next-generation infrastructure.
