| Too much..
Too much mergin' goin' on 'round here!
Everyone wants to merge with someone else anymore. Time/Warner was almost destroyed by their merger with AOL, Exxon Merged with Mobil, can't remember who Texaco merged with, and the list goes on and on.
I'm all for free markets, but I think government agencies should be pre disposed to denying mergers that approving them. They're almost never good for the customer..

in my personal opinion, I would expect FCC to spell out conditions.

If you look at the map and see how Verizon wants out of Maine & Vermont, they are coming in 3rd in this horse race. Even Fios may not save them in the long run. |

I have no particular opposition to this merger. In fact, I know pretty much nothing about it. Just trying to make a funny.
I think I hear crickets.....

I didn't know Qworst "served" so many states. Maine will soon be "Joe's Telecom." |

Anyone else immediately think of Risk when seeing this? 
Interesting map, as I'm unfamiliar with who provides where.

Funny isn't it? I remember the running joke when I used to work at Qwest on the unregulated data side was that we had more barb wire than local customers. |

So, does that mean Bellsouth customers can expect to start having their traffic routed over AT&T's aging backbone infrastructure ?
Cox is certainly looking good again...

Re: Too much..
Embarq is a RBOC, but serves a city here, a city there.
If in Tallahassee, Embarq is your provider. |

Only problem with that map is, it's not entirely accurate. Verizon provides service in states like WA, and OR, as does Qwest. |
