Neglect the copper plant and the network backbone that supports it and then sell a crippled network to a small telco. The small telco, if they are able to avoid bankruptcy won't have the money to upgrade their services so that they can't compete when VZ deploys LTE in those areas. This way VZ doesn't have LTE compete against it's own DSL or FIOS. Meanwhile regulators say nothing about POTs customers being out of service for weeks at a time in the areas VZ still has landlines. -- RIP my babies Buttons 1/15/94-2/9/07, Beamer 7/24/08, & Bows 12/17/94-10/11/09 |
