New Orleans, LA | If Verizon is trying to beef up in places, they feel that they would be best served financially, I can't really say I fault them.
I know that in my business, I pick and chooses activities and places to do business that I feel would best serve my business and the future of my current clients and partners. |

00000 | The big difference being you were never a monopoly providing essential utility to citizens on entire regions. Verizon was, and how they move forward is of great interest to those that are their customers. For one, it means the availability (OR NOT) of the latest and greatest products and services offered by the company. It could mean being sold off to an incompetent although well meaning smaller telecom company that results in life threatening 9-11 outages, delayed installations, and delayed technician visits.
I don't fault Verizon for picking their deployment areas carefully, but it is very different for them than it is for most other companies out there based on history. |

Are you concerned with the markets the VZ wants to sell? |

FiOS is an "essential utility"? I know Verizon doesn't want to hear it, but there are a lot of people in the world who get by without television or phone service. Is their service desirable? Without a doubt. Is it essential? Um... not really. |

FIOS customers in Oregon, Indiana and Washington aren't to happy with that. They give us the best internet and TV there is and now, just over two years later, they want to take it away.
