AT&T Schedules Public Meetings to Address Discontinuation of Landlines
In January AT&T applied to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to withdraw service to its landline customers. Many in the Santa Cruz Mountains and other rural areas depend on landline telephone service during emergencies, especially when power and the internet are out and cell phones are rendered useless.
The CPUC is currently holding in-person and virtual public forums for AT&T customers to provide input.
