Canonsburg, PA | West Virginia may be key to approval! Neither the WV Public Service Commission or Governor of WV seem to really like Verizon and it's very possible the WV public doesn't either. It would be easy for them to tell Verizon where to go except for one thing, Verizon has been pulling profits out of the state for several years and not maintaining their WV network. Before the very distant second largest phone company in the state becomes the largest you can bet they want that cash Verizon took out back (as in real cash not just stock or Frontier debt obligations) in WV. The other 13 states may have a relatively small proportion of their population effected but WV is in exactly the same boat as Hawaii and the northern New England states were. |

| i talked to the supervisor of telecommunications for the west virginia psc and he told me "verizon nor frontier have applied to have the state liscence transferred from verizon to frontier as of this time." He did assure me that when they do there will be 5 or 6 public hearings and I told him I wanted frontier to assure verizon customers that they will continue to upgrade verizon's lines in the state, that they will offer comparable service for comparable prices and that within 5 or 6 years they will bring fiber services to the state. He responded telling me that they will bring this up to both companies when it is time to approve the transfer and that he will keep me informed as to what conditions will need to be met when both companies apply for the transfer and also let me know when they do apply for the transfer. I will take it upon myself to make sure there are conditions that have to be met for the transfer to go through and will also tell my state legistlators and the governor how I feel. |

I've been to these public hearings with the PUC, its just for citizens to scream like the mentally ill in an insane assylum in a padded cell in a straight jacket. Unless you work with minority elementary school children (and actually bring a bunch of them to read bias speeches the kids wrote supporting some corporation or business model after watching indoctrination videos at school/after school/community centers by PR reps), or your a representative from a fortune 100, they will not say a word except "thank you, you time is up, the next speaker is ___________". |
