Re: And this is a surprise??
Like the previous poster stated: Verizon wants no part of this territory. It is far too expensive to deploy new fiber technology or even maintain the existing copper plant in such a sparsely populated area. I bet Verizon would unload western and possibly central MA if it could. |

I have quite a few friends that are moving to the Shirley area because it is somewhat "affordable". I would imagine that will be built up next with some substantial developments.

WRONG!!!! Verizon actually didn't want to give up southern NH, but Fairpoint said no deal with out southern NH being part of the sale.
I love you people who don't know squat, don't sit in executive meetings, probably don't even own stock yet seem to know though some mysterious osmosis that you know what Verizon does and doesn't want. |

| Verizon is not going to pick up the entire territory just to get southern NH. May not sit in on executive meetings, but did work at Verizon long enough to know the executive take on regions with poor RoI--stop investing in it and sell it off.
@ bac522-- You can hold onto your pipe dream of Verizon reacquiring the territory, but it is not going to happen. |
