TURN Telecommunications Accomplishments
A livable state is one where every single person has access to
essential services, including a telephone. While some in wealthy,
urban areas may see POTS (plain old telephone service) as a thing of
the past, it is still a vital connection to friends, family and
services for many low-income and rural Californians. TURN is working to
keep it viable.
Low income and rural customers are not the only
ones at risk. With phone deregulation leaving corporate greed
unchecked, prices are going up for everyone and the phone companies are
cutting back on services and customer rights. TURN holds corporations
accountable, demanding reasonable rates and real options for customers,
and opposing attempts to limit their rights and choices.
TURN
helps to bring the voices of ordinary Californians to the debates
impacting decisions about California’s phone service. Our outreach
materials and website offer consumer-friendly information on complex
policy issues, and valuable tips for consumers who want to save money —
or get more involved. Thanks to TURN, public participation at the
CPUC dramatically increased this year, raising consumer voices to a
whole new level.
