| The Lessons of FairPoint - A Tragedy in New England Here's a great series of articles I've been following. They're in reverse order, so start with part 1 at the bottom and work your way up. Would love the title, if it didn't hit so close to home.

Rochester, NY | Honestly, it's the story that never stops giving, and I'm only caught up retelling it to March of this year! I only wish our site was around two years ago and paying attention to this. Regulators should have known better. A NC company with just 330,000 access lines cannot absorb the phone service of three states, especially on systems as complex as Verizon operated.
It's all very tragic, and outrages me, and I don't even live there. Frontier is our phone company, and with their biting off more than they might be able to chew, I don't want to see a repeat performance.
I also don't want half of New England to be stuck in a broadband backwater with 1-3Mbps DSL being considered good enough. |

All that hooey about last mile customers will never happen. They're running a lot of ads for it these days, but they can't even implement an online payment platform.
