The issue was never the landline business it was expanding broadband services. It was clear Verizon had no interest in doing that. FairPoint argued, as a smaller Telco with a rural background, it was willing to accept lower profit margin.
What exactly do you think regulators should have done?

At the very least added the stipulation to use Verizon's software instead of having India develop new software. They also should have looked at the fact FP was a incredibly small entity with no track record to say they could handle this kind of load and imagine that... they can't handle it.
