Earlier this year, AT&T made the decision to discontinue its landline services in California.
Some concerns have been raised by residents and the California Public Utilities Commission since then, though AT&T remained committed to their decision.
Yesterday afternoon, the California Public Utilities Commission denied AT&T’s request to discontinue its landline phone services across California.
The commission also approved a measure to re-examine and possibly update the requirements for the type of phone service that AT&T and other regulated carriers are required to provide.
