Act Now : I Support the Phone System's Fundamental Values

AT&T has announced plans to upgrade its network and replace traditional telephone service with new, more efficient IP-based networks, networks that communicate via Internet Protocol. So what?

It is great news that AT&T is investing in its network; this improvement is how competition is supposed to work. But this network upgrade also raises critical questions that go to the very heart of the 100-year-old social contract that made voice service in America universally available, affordable, and reliable.

To read more about how the transition to IP-based networks effects the way we understand the phone system, and so much of current telecommunications policy, click here.

I want the telephone system to be universally available, affordable, and reliable regardless of the underlying technology.
