Re: Sell off in stages said by karlmarx: BUT VERIZON WAS FORMED (as part of Ma Bell) to PROVIDE SERVICE TO EVERYONE. Historical Note: Verizon was formed by merging Bell Atlantic, a RBOC, and GTE(a large Non-RBOC) in 2000.
An extremely large % of this Verizon sale to Frontier is former GTE territory.
I believe that West Virginia is the only ex-Bell Atlantic territory involved in this Verizon-Frontier change. Is that correct? |

kudos:2 | And GTE territory is HORRIBLE. Existing tariff's and rates there are astronomical which = bad for customers for pricing. The systems are very OLD, weren't maintained well by GTE, and need updated, so yeah, of course Verizon doesn't want to touch that, it costs money... |

That might be true in some areas, but I am in ex-GTE territory and (a) remember GTE quite fondly and (b) have FiOS internet and TV.
I think most of WA and OR are in that category, actually. I guess Verizon wants to divest of WA and OR simply for geographical reasons - -just too far away from their "core" territories. |
