Statement from Lumen in support of FCC reforms to modernize U.S. telecommunications regulation

“We applaud Chairman Carr’s leadership in advancing common-sense regulatory reform. Modernizing these outdated rules will allow for greater investment in critical network infrastructure, ensuring a more connected future and strengthening U.S. competitiveness in an increasingly digitally-enabled global marketplace.

These steps support Lumen transformation, helping us deliver better solutions for customers to connect, innovate and grow, while creating new opportunities for our workforce and the communities we serve to thrive.”
