AT&T sues California over phone network

AT&T is taking legal action against California, seeking to prevent the state from enforcing regulations that would require the company to maintain its old copper phone network. The telecommunications giant has filed a lawsuit and is appealing to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to intervene. AT&T argues that these outdated network requirements are financially burdensome and hinder its ability to invest in and deploy modern, more efficient technologies like fiber optics. The company aims to transition customers to its newer network infrastructure, which it claims offers superior service and reliability.
