Are the local telephone service providers required to offer a minimum usage / minimum price telephone service plan (copper lines) to be available for customers who may need it for emergency use purposes?

Legal Answer


You might check with your local Board of County Supervisors or other local government representatives who give the local telephone providers their franchise to operate in the are to determine what sort of services they may be required to provide in the particular areas which you have in mind.
