Local Competition and Broadband Reporting

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission announces the adoption of a program to collect basic information about the status of local telephone service competition and the deployment of advanced telecommunications capability, also known as broadband. The Commission will use this information to help inform it craft its regulations in a manner that encourages development in these markets. The Commission further intends that this information will inform other policy makers and consumers about these markets. By understating the state of local telephony service competition and the deployment of broadband services, the Commission will be better able to fulfill its statutory obligations.
