On August 11, 2022, Public Knowledge, Communications Workers of America, Center for Rural Strategies, National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates, Next Century Cities, the Public Utility Law Project of New York, and the Utility Reform Network (hereafter, Public Knowledge, et. al), filed an amended petition for declaratory ruling, asking the FCC to classify interconnected VoIP as a Title II telecommunications service.
