The amendments are part of the FCC’s Network and Services Modernization Order, adopted in March and published in the Federal Register in April. The changes apply to telecommunications carriers. They streamline certain carrier-side procedures connected with planned copper-network retirements and service changes, while retaining requirements intended to support notice and 911 continuity. The FCC rules do not create a universal deadline for hotels to replace telephone systems or other connected technology. However, a hotel that receives legacy copper voice service may want to confirm with its carrier whether changes are planned, what replacement-service options may be available, and whether new equipment or coordination with connected systems will be required. For hospitality properties, those questions can extend beyond a single telephone line. Guestroom telephones, property operations, data networks and in-building cabling may all be part of a property’s communications environment. The specific impact of any carrier network change will depend on the property’s current service, equipment and location.
