Winterset, IA | Moving said by article:
When Verizon installs the fiber-optic connection to your home, the technicians cut down the old, copper-line connection to the telephone network and will not replace it if you later decide to cancel. So the next folks to buy your house will inherit Verizon's fiber connection with it
I think FCC rules require telephone service to everybody that has copper running to their house. There are also requirements on pricing for low-income homes. I don't know if telephone service qualifies as copper and a dial tone or any medium and dial tone. Either way they probably need to be able to provide standalone phone service at the PUC rate.

| You probably wouldn't see fiber running into low income areas. I still think they would have to offer the same phone rates otherwise they would see even more people moving away from their services alltogether. Be nice to see some Wireless services available via Wi-MAX. |

Donora, PA | they dont want to move into low-income areas either, they are only upgrading the areas where they know people pay their bills, that is why they dont want franchise agreements, they would be forced to service they whole area, not pick and choose. |
