the Ohio PUC doesn't care about anyone. You should know that by living here. They only care about the money that is given to them by the companies they regulate. We see how far that went when ATT was allowed to be a video provider here.
And we see how much VZ has been held up to anything they advertise and promise as well.
pay off Ohio and get what you want done. Especially since the PUC hasnt had anyone new in it for a while.
