said by fAcEtIOUs:said by AMDUSER:Why doesn't the state of Maine just revoke Fairpoints right to operate after Fairpoint violated the states conditions for approval of the sale.
Also,
pay have another company [ie TDS Telecom] take over the phone systems run by Fairpoint.
LOL. 1st it is illegal to just takeover Fairpoints assets and give them to someone else. And what makes you think TDS Telecom could afford to buy them?
Even if they could buy them with loans from investment firms, what makes you think that TDS Telecom would do any better in running the service than Fairpoint has? They are even a smaller outfit than Fairpoint.
It's also illegal to completely ignore the rulings of local government.
