AT&T has filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) its plan on how it intends to test the process of upgrading the nation’s infrastructure to fiber-optic based, rather than copper. In its filing, it has said that it will select markets not based on ease of transition, but as a way to learn about the process to streamline the effort, which in its trial phases, is supposed to be complete before 2020. AT&T’s Frank Simone wrote in its proposal to the FCC that “AT&T intends to select locations for the service-based experiments that represent the challenges it will face with the transition, and conduct an extensive review of the services to be impacted as part of this experiment.”
