The FCC Wireline Bureau dismissed four petitions for waiver of various high-cost universal service filing deadlines, in a public notice Monday (http://bit.ly/1bJoy9t). Hayneville Fiber Transport, Hargray Telephone Co., Pine Belt Telephone Co. and Telenational Communications had their petitions dismissed as part of the FCC’s “ongoing effort to manage its dockets and reduce backlog,” the notice said, because none of the petitions came forward in response to an earlier notice asking if they are still interested in pursuing their petitions.
