If they don't want to be a public utlity, its simple, let the public revoke their ROW access, and sieze the physical plant and make muni telcos who give a shit and are willing to get USDA fiber loans.

Re: hmm

Verizon found a solution to that problem more palatable to it's shareholders than yours, I suppose...

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.
