Telephone Deregulation Bill Passes Senate
The recent passage of Senate Bill 88 by the Kentucky state Senate has alarmed some with concerns they may soon find land line telephone service a thing of the past. Senate Bill 88 is directed at deregulating certain aspects of communication services. Lourdes Baez, communications director for the Senate Majority, said this bill will not leave rural homes without access to land lines. “There has been an immense amount of misinformation,” said Baez. According to Baez, there are protections in the bill which will not allow land lines in rural areas to be discontinued.
