| What you are missing is the difference between cable/internet attempts to keep customers and telephone. There have never been rules regarding cable and internet tactics but there were rules put into place when the telephone industry began to get compitition not only from cable but also voip and wireless. People wanted to keep the SAME # they had for years regardless of who provided the service. The FCC then made the rule that you could not attempt to block this wish by offering special deals. Why? because the consumer made the choice and you (the incumbant phone provider) should honot thos wishes and let the number go to who ever the consumer wanted it to be moved to. Now VZ has decided they do not want to play by those rules and (no suprise here) the FCC has said OK. I just wonder what would have been the ruling had TWC, Comcast, or another cable telephone provider had done the same thing and VZ had filed the FCC complaint? IMO the ruling would have been the exact opposite.
