Frontier Communications isn’t seeing its customer base ask for backup power for their wireline broadband connections to access their OTT VoIP provider to make emergency calls.
Since the telco is not finding customer demand for power backup for the broadband services it provides, Frontier said in an FCC filing that “it is premature for the Commission to examine any type of backup requirements for broadband service, and doing so risks increasing consumer costs for a service they do not demand.”
