Re: If Verizon is trying to beef up in places, they feel 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. |
