| The point being that this money was supposed to improve infrastructure in Western MA. To that end Verizon claims that the "wires are old and can not handle DSL". Well all this time they were supposed to use this tax credit of sorts to make sure that the technology for voice service would work, which in turn would make it easier to extend broadband.
Short version, Verison just used tax exemption to increase profits and to upgrade service in markets where there's more profits, when they were supposed to upgrade service where there was going to be LESS profits.
Think MA USF. |
