Whatever your position in this far-reaching matter, you have until July 8 to file your comments and detail your individual experiences and issues either&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/ecfs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">online at this link here<\/a>&nbsp;or by paper, in which case you&#8217;ll need to send the Commission&#8217;s Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission an original and one copy of each filing.<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>For now, it&#8217;s obviously hard to anticipate if T-Mo will be punished in any way for a problem described as related to &#8220;a leased fiber circuit failure from a third party provider in the Southeast&#8221;, and if so, what kind of sanction the &#8220;Un-carrier&#8221; might be facing.
