| Lazy Friday Must be a slow day at Corporate cause one look at the message board and you can see it's full of Verizon employees, share holders, lobbyists. No one believes all this bull except you. Everyone here knows what a sham, rip off company Verizon is and they raped Pennsylvania. I hope NY holds out on FIOS deployment just so we can rub it in your face. Lower Middle class folk getting deployment prior to affluent white folk? God Forbid. Don't let it happen Verizon. The last thing we want is for them to be able to access information. Hell it may improve their awareness hence the quality of their children's lives as they utilize the internet. |

Hingham, MA | The myth of Verizon red-lining being based on income rises its head again- it's based entirely on where they can cheaply get fiber (which means areas with a lot of MDUs or rural areas are out) and can get the franchises they want. Suburbs tend to be ideal here, with a lot of single-family homes that are reasonably close together- but if you look at deployment there are "poorer" communities on the list and "rich" communities being left out. Verizon doesn't hate the poor or love the rich, they just want to make themselves rich. It's not a charity. |
