Frontier Communications was on the agenda to provide an update on the 911 outages and the adequacy of its equipment in Arizona. It was the desire of the commissioners that staff complete its investigation on Frontier as soon as possible, yet recognizing the large number of cases they are currently processing. Opening up the 911 issue, a June 2 press release by ACC stated that Chairwoman Lea Marquez Peterson had submitted a letter to the commission's utilities, compliance and enforcement division asking them to conduct a thorough investigation of Frontier Communications for multiple service outages that affected Arizonans' ability to contact 911 operators. That request led to the issue being placed on the June 8 agenda. https://www.wmicentral.com/news/apache_county/frontier-updates-acc-on-911-outages/article_0d8fe772-a490-5c3c-b78c-e33b0a8b75b6.html

By David Dudley for CityLab August 31, 2021, 8:00 AM EDT We're heading north up Rochester's Goodman Street, past pizza places and gas stations and narrow wood-framed homes, when Eric Kunsman spots a red-crowned kiosk in front of the parking lot of a convenience store/smoke shop. It's a pay phone, one he'd probably seen many times before but had never truly seen until now. "Look at that!" he says. We pull over, and he pops the hatch on his Toyota SUV. "I can't believe I missed this one." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2021-08-31/where-can-i-find-a-pay-phone-eric-kunsman-documents-america-s-last-phones
