Why are calls between Dorris/Macdoel and Tulelake/Newell a long distance call?
Extended Area Service, or EAS, is a designated area in which one subscriber can call another subscriber without long distance charges. These areas are designated by the California Public Utility Commission. In order to change these areas, a request must be made to the CPUC. A study is then conducted to determine a majority interest and the feasibility of extending the area. When EAS areas are extended, local rates may increase to offset the cost of extending the area.
