I wonder about low income households and if cell phone or internet providers have the same obligation to provide baseline service as do landline? If not, this seems like an important hurdle to cross before dropping these customers…
- asadotzler 3y agoI live in a rural area not far from silicon valley and there is no cell coverage here and there is no broadband. The trees are too tall for satellite (redwood forest) and so when AT&T pulls out, we, and our little neighborhood of about 50, half of whom are fixed income seniors, will have no connection to the outside. A couple neighbors on the hillside can get satellite but the latency's too much for wifi calling so that doesn't work. Fortunately we have a ham radio operator who can reach the sheriff if something catastrophic happens.
