News Summary:
On September 17, 2026, Liberty Latin America Limited agreed to implement a compliance plan, which includes an incident response plan and data governance programs, and pay a $100,000 civil penalty to ensure future adherence to the Communications Act and CPNI rules, leading the Commission to terminate its investigation. On the same day, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a proposed final judgment requiring Liberty Latin America Ltd., Liberty Communications of Puerto Rico LLC, and AT&T Inc. to divest assets such as the Columbus Network and the LCPR Network within 30 calendar days to an acquirer acceptable to the United States. This followed a final judgment entered earlier on September 17, 2026, by the same District Court against AT&T, Liberty Latin America Ltd., and Liberty Communications of Puerto Rico LLC, which mandates the divestiture of specific assets to remedy an alleged loss of competition. The judgment specifies that the divestiture must be made to an acquirer acceptable to the U.S. to ensure the assets can be used as a viable ongoing business providing fiber-based connectivity and telecommunications services to enterprise customers in Puerto Rico. Earlier, the FCC's Enforcement Bureau settled an investigation with Liberty Latin America over its alleged failure to timely report a data breach, with Liberty paying a $100,000 civil penalty in a resolution that advanced U.S. national security and law enforcement interests and protected consumer data. This divestiture context was further elaborated by a Competitive Impact Statement filed by the United States earlier on September 17, 2026, which detailed that the proposed Final Judgment requires Liberty to divest "Divestiture Assets" to WorldNet Telecommunications Inc. and provide options for the acquirer to expand its fiber-optic network reach.
