Yes, and that AT&T already said they were pulling their "fixed wireless" service out of New York State for that very 
reason.

I’m assuming he’s referring to the New York State low income Internet mandate that recently went into effect.

FYI. AT&T is discontinuing their ABF service in New York. 




        

        
        


What's Happening with Existing ABF Customers in NY 


        

        
        


AT&T Business Fiber customers in New York will be able to keep their current ABF service until March 1 at no charge, as 
they find other options for broadband service. 

Customers must do one of the following before 3/1/25 , when their ABF services will be disconnected: 

    * Sign a 12-month contract for existing ABF services at current rates 
    * Switch to AT&T Dedicated Internet (ADI) or AWB with standard pricing 
    * Take no action, and their ABF services will be disconnected on 3/1/25 

Existing customers are being contacted via email and direct mail to inform them of the changes and offer the option to 
either sign a 12-month contract or migrate to AWB or ADI. 

AT&T’s nationwide wireless service will not change in New York. AIA-B and ABF are still offered in all other qualified 
locations and states. We value our customers and AT&T will continue to support policies that promote capital 
investment, innovation and a competitive market.
