| Verizon's lack of maintenance on its copper network etc. If you delve deeply into the rate justification in a telco like Verizon's service you will see that they charge each and every customer for the maintenance and upgrading of their telephone network infrastructure.
In fact every Verizon user already pays every billing cycle for Verizon to maintain and upgrade its network infrastructure. Verizon however does not keep up its end of the bargain and has in Central and Western Massachusetts so neglected the copper infrastructure that it is approaching interoperability (old cables filling with water etc.).
My suggestion is to file a Massachusetts consumer class action law suite for Verizon's malfeasance in its failure to maintain and upgrade its network and properly serve its customers.
If the Massachusetts consumers win, which they may well, and Verizon chooses to sell their Massachusetts network I suggest filing a motion to seize the network for payment of the law suit settlement and operation of the network as a Massachusetts consumer owned non profit cooperative. I bet that would get Verizon's attention.
