The FCC deleted rules for landline phones that nobody uses anymore

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) removed many old rules for landline phone services. These rules covered things like how phone companies had to connect to each other and how they charged for calls, but they were written for a time before cell phones and the internet.

For decades, phone companies had to follow rules designed for copper wires and rotary phones, even as most people switched to cell phones and internet services. This meant they spent time and money complying with regulations that no longer made sense. This change means the FCC is finally catching up to how people actually communicate today.
