At some point I hope we as individuals can help lobby PUC or maybe our state congress-people or whomever. I'm happy to make a phone call (if the phone lines are working) and for sure write a letter or two or three.
It wasn't too long ago where CenturyLink was mailing out postcards encouraging people to keep their landlines because they still worked when the power was down and cell phones weren't functioning.
Centurylink, schmenturylink, I got my own battery backup to power my Starlink internet, so I can make WIFI calls, and get reverse 911 calls.
I dumped my landline in 2014, saving approx $70/month.
