Burlington, MA | Re: hmm There is a reason why no one wants to offer service in the state. There isn't enough profit in it. No one is owed anything; if there isn't a big enough profit motive in it, then don't expect to have great service options. | |

Fairpoint does want to provide service to these states, but seems convinced that FTTH isn't necessary, and even if it did probably couldn't afford to make a large-scale deployment with it's existing large debt. | |

| As long as the public is willing to pay them what their network is worth, as per the requirements of eminent domain, then that's fine. But the public is too cheap to spend taxpayer money that way.
So live with what you've got, because we don't deserve any more than we're willing to pay for. | |
