AT&T has filed a lawsuit against California officials seeking relief from the state's requirement to continue offering traditional copper wire phone service to new customers. The company argues that maintaining the legacy telephone network is costly, as it now serves only 3% of households in California. AT&T is committing to invest $19 billion in modern telecommunications infrastructure and aims to connect over 4 million additional households and businesses by 2030. The lawsuit targets the California Public Utilities Commission and the state attorney general, claiming that the state's rules conflict with federal standards. AT&T also filed petitions with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to discontinue copper-based service in areas where faster, more reliable alternatives are available. The company estimates that transitioning from copper networks could save around 300 million kilowatt-hours annually, equivalent to removing emissions from 17 million gallons of gasoline. AT&T highlighted operational challenges with copper lines, including approximately 2,000 outages this year due to theft and difficulty obtaining replacement parts. Nationwide, regulatory barriers for copper networks have largely been eliminated, allowing telecom providers to focus on modern technologies and improve service reliability.
