 Let me spin this the other way. Its a win-win for over 90% of consumers, since most consumers do not live in New England...

Lines in rural New England lines are more expensive to service (on average) than lines in dense-urban population centers.

If you are a consumer that does not live in New England, this is a win-win for you because your bill will no longer be subsidizing those expensive New England lines (except for through USF).
