FCC eases rules for fiber optic transition

The Federal Communications Commission has voted to remove regulations that previously hindered the transition from copper to fiber optic communication networks. This decision is expected to accelerate the adoption of faster and more reliable fiber internet services across the country. By phasing out outdated copper retirement rules, the FCC aims to streamline the process for internet service providers, encouraging investment in modern infrastructure. This move is seen as a significant step towards improving broadband availability and performance for consumers and businesses.
