Re: Laughable
said by Matt  :said by Hazy Arc :Simpsonville and Woodruff are not rural by any stretch of the imagination...hell, they are within 10-15 miles of downtown Greenville. Why Verizon dropped the ball on this is beyond me. 20,000 lines is simply not worth it to Verizon. That is (in their eyes) as rural as it gets unfortunately. As rural as It gets, I live in Yermo CA, the population here is about 4200 and so We have maybe 2100 lines and then there's Barstow CA nearby they have a population of about 20,000 and maybe 10,000 lines, So rural can get pretty small and Yes We have DSL here. And We might be one of the communities in So Cal that Verizon wants to sell off and had no real intention of serving just so they could acquire the GTE wireless network. |

| Very true. That's the only thing VZ wanted was the GTE wireless network.
On the other hand nothing is stopping these people from setting up a Co-Op and building out a Wireless provider. Why wait for VZ or Frontier to do it. Build out your own with a Co-Op don't use Tax money, and then tell VZ to take a hike. |
