Re: What??? They cherry picking areas of highest return while selling off the rest of their territory to cheap knockoffs who will never have the money to upgrade their network for their customers. They do all of this while being essentially a monopoly or part of a duopoly in those area. *That* is what makes people angry.
Look at the whole mess in Vermont with Fairpoint customers. They're experiencing an absolute nightmare during the transition. Long periods of dropped access, being billed multiple times for services they never used, waiting excessively long (as in months) for service to be set up all the while being billed during the waiting period. And now Fairpoint is on the edge of bankruptcy.
Verizon was able to shed a ton of debt while leaving their Vermont customers in the dirt.
That really, really makes consumers upset. |

Clearly you dont own a business, nor do you have any experience running one. You arent even talking about the same thing as the rest of us! So-called "cherry picking" has absolutely nothing to do with selling the unprofitable portions of a businesses assets.
If you one day end up in the position that you own/run/control a business you will look back on your silly comments and (hopefully!) laugh. Part of what makes America so great is that if a business wants to sell unprofitable/undesirable/(fill in the blank) assets it can; this isnt the Soviet Union and we thankfully have that option.
