The FCC won’t require incumbent telephone companies to unbundle fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) loops, in which fiber is extended within 500 ft. of a customer’s premises, the Commission said in a preliminary decision Thurs. Comr. Copps dissented and Comr. Adelstein dissented in part. The action came in response to Oct. 2003 petitions by BellSouth and SureWest Communications asking the FCC to reconsider parts of its Triennial Review Order (TRO) governing the ILEC obligations to unbundle their networks. The FCC said the new rules would encourage deployment of fiber broadband networks in residential neighborhoods and would “free companies to choose between FTTH [fiber-to- the-home] or FTTC networks based on marketplace characteristics, rather than disparate regulatory treatment.” The final order is expected out within a week or 2, FCC Wireline Bureau Chief Jeffrey Carlisle said.
