Cincinnati Bell wants to discontinue its Primary Rate Interface service and Plain Old Telephone Service provided over Cisco 5400 equipment network connectivity by Jan. 31, the FCC said Tuesday. Cincinnati Bell said its PRI service has fewer than five customers, and only a “small number” of its POTS subscribers would be affected by discontinuing the Cisco 5400 connectivity. Cincinnati Bell notified affected customers in late November; those customers have the opportunity to subscribe to similar services from Cincinnati Bell or change providers, the FCC said. The commission is seeking comment on Cincinnati Bell’s proposal through Jan. 15.
