STOP AT&T’s EFFORTS TO SUBVERT THE CPUC RULING
PRECLUDING THEM FROM ABANDONING
CALIFORNIA LANDLINE PHONE NETWORKS
SITUATION: AT&T petitioned the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for permission to abandon their mandatory role as carrier of last resort for California landline phone networks.
On June 20, the CPUC denied the request. So now AT&T is using an unfortunate California legislative process called “gut and amend” to subvert the CPUC ruling.
Assembly Bill 2797—originally about horse racing—is now a bill about telephone landlines. The bill is currently in the Senate Energy, Utilities & Communications Committee, and is scheduled for a hearing on July 2.
ACTION: Contact the Senate Energy, Utilities & Communications Committee and your State Senator before July 2nd and tell them not to let AT&T abandon California landline networks and to vote against AB2797.
And please share this message with friends, family and colleagues in the state of California.
