In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the transition from copper to fiber optic lines for telecommunications services, highlighting a significant shift in infrastructure support from AT&T. The meeting revealed that AT&T has decided to discontinue support for copper lines, prompting service providers like Alta Works to adapt to this change.

Representatives noted that the transition to fiber would incur additional costs, with Alta Works indicating that a quote for the necessary upgrades would require AT&T's involvement. Despite the potential for increased expenses, it was reported that a new service provider could offer a more competitive rate—$19.42 less than the current costs associated with Alta Works.

The move to a single point of contact for phone issues was emphasized as a key advantage of switching providers, streamlining communication and potentially improving service reliability. The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions, indicating a willingness to engage further on the topic as the transition progresses.
