AT&T will likely have to continue as the carrier of last resort in California, relieving some anxiety about the future of landlines in rural parts of the state. A carrier of last resort, or COLR, is a telecommunications provider that is required to offer basic services, usually a landline, to anyone in its service area who requests it. The service must be safe, reliable, and affordable, according to the CPUC, or California Public Utilities Commission. Last year, AT&T, the largest COLR in the state, filed an application with the Commission to be relieved of that obligation.Now the judge handling the case is recommending that the Commission vote to dismiss the application, which they could do as early as June 20th.
