Cell service is a constitutional right?

Several years ago a court case came up proclaiming that phone service was a right, final result ... you can turn off phone service (for none payment) with the exception that 911 access must be maintained. This was for residential phone service; don’t know how this will affect mobile service.

If you have a cell phone 911 should work whether or not you have service.

"...you can turn off phone service (for none payment) with the exception that 911 access must be maintained."

But, according to at least this source, this was exctly what was done.

Cell service is a constitutional right?

125 years ago could the government come into your house and smash your printing press? 50 years ago could the government come into your house and remove your telephone?

This will not end well for the freedom of speach.
