FCC Seeks Comments by Feb. 16 on AT&T Bid To Halt Certain Operator Services

Comments are due at the FCC by Feb. 16 on an AT&T request to discontinue certain operator services throughout the U.S., said a Wireline Bureau public notice posted Friday in docket 16-13. AT&T's application will be deemed granted March 15 unless the commission notifies the company otherwise, the PN said. Citing declining demand, AT&T plans to discontinue collect calling, person-to-person calling and four other operator-assisted services to retail customers on or after March 18 and to wholesale customers on or after June 4 (see 1601070023).
