Save Landlines: Carrier of Last Resort (COLR)

Oppose AB 470!
Protect Reliable Phone Service for Everyone.

Phone service isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic need for calling 911, keeping in touch with family, and staying connected during emergencies.

AB 470 would let AT&T walk away from its responsibility to provide phone service to people in its territory, just by sending a notice to state regulators. No public hearings or requirements that another company provide landline service. 

Right now, AT&T is legally required to serve everyone in its area. That means if you live in a remote or rural community or you’re an older adult who relies on a landline, you can still count on having a working phone.
