Neglect

No doubt Verizon has neglected the copper network up there the same way they are neglecting the copper network in Florida, It may take some time for Fairpoint to get those systems running properly again. The 911 troubles would have happened to Verizon if the deal never happened so we probably shouldn't blame Fairpoint.

Re: Neglect

If Verizon retires copper, they will have to provide the service that their PUC filled tarrifs and state regulations require (lifeline and basic local phone service). We all know landline rates on copper and FIOS are identical. So section 8 people will get landline phone, except no $20 DSL, but more expensive FIOS. But that doens't matter, nobody regulates internet prices.
