2025 Verizon/Frontier Merger

Raise Your Voice!

Verizon wants to take over Frontier’s California operations. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is reviewing the deal, and you can speak out.

Public hearings are happening across the state. If approved, this merger would give one telecom giant more power, threatening service quality, affordability, and access for rural and low-income communities.

Now is the time to raise your voice. Attend a public hearing or submit a written comment to the CPUC.
