Re: Verizon Reaches Agreement with Montgomery County Interestingly, I was speaking to the Rockville reps afterward and it sounded like deja vu all over again. Verizon says Rockville has rejected their offers. And Rockville says "What? They've rejected all our offers!" Maybe it's time for another lawsuit? |

Verizon has reached agreement with something like 160 jurisdictions. They started construction in Montgomery County earlier than most. It is totally illogical to think Verizon has signaled out Rockville and Montgomery to be especially difficult with. It was Verizon that initiated the litigation. It may be true, but the only way they will convince anybody is to make everything public and they don't. They all get pretty sensitive when asked.
Another simple observation. Verizon answerer's every call and email on this subject and follows up. The Montgomery County executive is a total black hole. I can see him being a major contributor to gridlock on this and every other issue. I'd give the rest of the county people a 50% on giving a reply and a zero on content.
I've come to accept that our primary purpose is to provide the revenue stream they need. That public hearings are a pressure valve and nobody really listens. That they are the professionals and know best, but this is an election year. |

Silver Spring, MD | The lack of information released is truly amazing. I can't understand how elected officials can carry on extensive negotiations for more than a year over an issue that the citizens spend typically many hours of a typical day [watching cable TV] and how many millions of dollars and release so little information to the citizens. We are to assume that the elected officials know exactly what they are doing and have our best interests in mind. But, if the complaints against Comcast are any indication, they don't seem to have been doing a very good job so far despite the many years of experience and huge amounts of money they have been collecting for their services over the years |
