The people of northern New England are getting hosed. Verizon's plan was to replace the copper network with fiber. Verizon promised FIOS, then finds some dumb company to trick into buying an aging copper plant. Fairpoint is promising the world to get this deal done. Fairpoint will probably go bankrupt if the deal falls through. Lets just hope that the system is not so corrupt that the PUC's can end this fiasco.
