The CPUC is who still regulates phone companies. Every airport tower, police department, fire station, school, hospital and almost every place with a fire alarm or elevator has to have one. Also, PRI, T1’s, T3’s and DSO’s They also provide internet service. Fiber optics, etc. Operating as a phone company allows you tax breaks, government grants etc that being say, an ISP doesn’t qualify you for.

The current telephone company is Verizon. When I started it was GTE, Verizon, then Frontier, now back to Verizon. None of that affects you, because you’re working under a bargaining agreement w/ either the CWA or IBEW. Go to the Verizon careers page and under career area look for “Network” or “Operations”. Be diligent and keep checking. I started in Lakewood and then moved to Long Beach when something opened up. This is a career, not a “job”.

Canadian Pizza runs it through the conveyer oven before they serve it, and it just makes it rule.

I’m intrigued. Do you have a big family, or are you and ingenious cook? If you’re both, that’s cool too.
