| Verizon right about one thing Verizon says it is an unfair and arbitrary standard that aren't [sic] applied to its competitors in the increasingly competitive telecommunications market. And that statement is true. Whether Verizon gets reduced standards or not, the rules should be the same for everyone offering phone service in the state - even the VOIP providers.

Not sure how it isn't the same. Anyone applying for LEC status has to follow the same rules. At least that is the case in Virginia.

| What is the benefit of LEC status? How did Verizon get this rule placed on it in the first place?
I imagine that Verizon agreed to something and then didn't do it, to save money. They should pay the fine and then cancel whatever agreement they made, if they don't like the agreement. |

A statement without a basis in reality... No VoIP provider can ever provide the exact same level of service as an existing ILEC or CLEC using traditional copper as a medium. To believe that it is possible and should be so is to know little about the nature of the beast.

They are statutes that are enacted that regulate how the company will do things in order to keep their LEC status.
If you want to read about what is required in Virginia in order to be a LEC, I suggestyou start here:
