Fcc Data Shows Improved Network Reliability

摘要

Local telephone service has made steady gains in reliability in recent years, according to data collected by the FCC through its Automated Reporting Management Information System. ARMIS reports, which must be filed by the largest local exchange carriers, showed a steady decline in the number of trouble reports per 100 lines between 1998 and 2007, the most recent year for which data is available. During that period, the number of trouble reports per 100 lines dropped from 2.03 to 1.86 per month.
