"A bill that would have relieved telephone companies of their legal obligation to provide essential telecommunications services at affordable prices was pulled from a key committee last week, meaning it is not currently on its way to a vote by the full House."
This was the AT&T bill where the company had asked to be relived of their responsibility to be a Carrier Of Last Resort in rural areas. It would've left swaths of California without any communication at all.
