🏛️ Official FCC Notice — March 2025
Your Copper Lines
Are Being Retired
On March 20, 2025, the FCC officially streamlined the process for telecom providers to retire aging copper phone and data networks across the country — including throughout the DMV.
This means your building's copper-based phone lines, elevator emergency phones, fire alarm dialers, and legacy data circuits could be disconnected with little warning.
- ⚡ Elevator emergency call systems running on copper POTS lines must be migrated to compliant alternatives
- ⚡ Fire alarm communicators using copper telephone lines require immediate assessment
- ⚡ Legacy PBX phone systems connected via copper will lose dial tone without a replacement plan
- ⚡ FCC has waived the lengthy notice requirements — carriers can act faster than ever
