AT&T’s plan to eliminate legacy landlines in California made headway after a federal victory last week. The Federal Communications Commission on June 29 approved a petition by AT&T to end the service in California, even though a state order bars the telecommunications company from doing so, Bay Area News Group reported.  

The Rural County Representatives of California on July 1 announced it, along with the California State Association of Counties, The Utility Reform Network, and the Communications Workers of America (CWA), filed an amicus curiae brief supporting state officials in its lawsuit against AT&T.
