California PUC officially rejects AT&T proposal to be relieved of
landline responsibilities
With their vote today, 4-0 with one recusal, the CPUC today officially
rejected AT&T's proposal to be relieved of carrier of last resort
responsibilities in a long running proceeding. While this does not
prevent AT&T from modernizing their equipment to other technologies,
this is widely viewed as a pushback to AT&T's efforts to pretty
immediately kill landlines in the state and relieve itself of
responsibilities to provide universal telephone service in all of their
traditionial service areas. Public interest in this proceeding was
enormous with a massive number of public comments (their site stopped
counting at 5000), overwhelmingly negative to AT&T's proposal.
The Commission also voted to begin a proceeding to study if and how
the last resort responsibilities should be updated to take account
of technological changes. So this will definitely be a continuing story.
As you probably know, I was firmly opposed to AT&T's proposal, and
I want to thank everyone who let the CPUC know how they felt
about this situation.
