Yes, I don't know who wrote this but I suspect it was copied from a submission by T-mobile. DOGE probably fired the engineers who could have caught this.

And with the same logic as our retreat from metric conversion, we are the only country still using imperial weights and measures.

"FCC Takes First Step to Address Rules for Obsolete Format for TTY"

That "obsolete" format is ASCII, not Baudot. The requirement for Baudot remains.
