FCC Announces Two-Day July Workshop on Transition from Legacy Voice to All-IP Networks Panels to Focus on Interconnection, Regulatory Reform, and Modernizing Legacy Programs WASHINGTON, July 6, 2026—The FCC’s Wireline Competition Bureau will host a two-day industry workshop on July 15 and July 16, 2026 to discuss the Commission’s proposed reforms intended to accelerate the transition from legacy voice networks to modern, all-Internet Protocol (IP) networks. The event will bring together industry experts and stakeholders to collaborate and examine the most significant issues the industry may face during the IP transition. Industry participants will identify potential obstacles, share best practices, and develop potential solutions that support the Commission’s goal of a smooth and efficient transition. Chairman Carr issued the following statement: “Completing the transition to all-IP networks will unlock real benefits for consumers. It will mean more investment in next-gen networks; more effective solutions to illegal robocalls; and modern, competitive technologies, instead of slow, legacy networks built for a bygone era. That is why I am pleased to convene this timely workshop. Bringing together the wide-ranging expertise of industry stakeholders is exactly what is needed to drive meaningful progress.” Additional Information: The event is free and open to the public. Members of the media are welcome to attend. Registration is optional but strongly encouraged and will expedite in-person admission to the workshop.
