ME. CHARLESTON (FOX5) -- People living on Mt. Charleston said they're almost solely dependent on landlines for communication - including if there's an emergency.



"In the winter time it gets really bad up here. This winter we got 20 feet of snow, so communications is really important," said Mt. Charelston resident, Jimmy Alderson. "During the summer time we're in a fire zone, so communications are really important for that as well and we also have a lot of hikers that come up and get lost so and so communication for that is important as well."
