: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.
These are not agreements between the state, in my case I am discussing Virgnia, and Verizon. They are statutes that are enacted that regulate how the company will do things in order to keep their LEC status.
