The Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC) has launched a legal bid to protect reliable phone services for millions of rural residents by filing a motion to intervene in AT&T’s federal lawsuit against the state’s utility regulators.

The legal maneuver, filed in partnership with a broad coalition including The Utility Reform Network (TURN), the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), and the Communications Workers of America (CWA), seeks formal party status in the ongoing battle over California's telecommunications safety net. The lawsuit, brought by Pacific Bell Telephone Company (doing business as AT&T California) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, seeks to dismantle the state's Carrier of Last Resort (COLR) requirements.
