I was formerly ambivalent about the Fairpoint purchase, but in recent months I've become concerned about what would happen to our beloved GWI under Fairpoint. I guess I'd rather just stick with the known evil (Verizon) at this point. The excessively warm and fuzzy TV ads that Fairpoint is airing are certainly not helping their case any.

GWI has a big fiber network and already offers ADSL2+ and voice services in some of the least populated areas, including in Aroostook county. Statistically Fletcher (CEO of GWI) will go to the state house and kick some butt if he thinks he's being messed with. I suspect if that's the case with the Fairpoint deal, he'll be back there if he hasn't been already. Knowing that, I'm only somewhat concerned. It seems the PUC would be livid and come to GWI's defense.
