Re: Won't be hard

VZ offers service in south eastern MI as well. Former GTE areas. In Blissfield they actually have a CLEC that is deploying VDSL IPTV to compete against them.

How is this a bad thing?

Frontier is sure to increase broadband availability in the acquired areas (which is at about 60% today, whereas Frontier's is 92%), ...
Great, I say "bring it on".

BTW, I think DSL Prime says the broadband availability in these areas with Verizon is more like in the 40's.

The worst possible thing that could happen is that Frontier goes out of business, and I lose landline voice service. BFD, everyone in the family has a cellphone. I wouldn't have landline broadband, but Verizon was never going to provide that to me, anyway. So there's a potential upside to this deal (92% chance of getting broadband from Frontier), and no downside.
