  • “This is the Commission’s Fifth Report examining the availability of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans, as required by section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act). Section 706 directs the Commission to encourage the deployment of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans by using measures that “promote competition in the local telecommunications market.” Further, it requires the Commission to conduct a regular inquiry to determine “whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion.” In this Report, we find, pursuant to the analytical framework established in prior section 706 reports, that advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans in a reasonable and timely fashion.”
