FCC Seeks Comment on the State of Competition in the Communications Marketplace

The Federal Communications Commission seeks public input to inform the FCC’s required assessment of the state of competition in the communications marketplace in its upcoming Communications Marketplace Report (2022 Communications Marketplace Report) to Congress. Specifically, the FCC seeks data, information, and comment on a wide range of issues relevant to the state of competition in the communications marketplace as a whole. The FCC requests that commenters submit information, data, and statistics for 2020 and 2021, as well as information on any notable trends and developments that have occurred during early 2022. Industry stakeholders, the public, and all other interested parties are encouraged to submit information, comments, and analyses. To facilitate analysis of competitive trends, parties should submit relevant current and historic data that are comparable over time. Interested parties may file comments on or before July 1, 2022, and reply comments on or before August 1, 2022. Comments may be filed using the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) or by filing paper copies. We strongly encourage interested parties to file comments electronically.
