Some interesting points by ALJ Tapia:
--She found disputed evidence on whether Verizon and Frontier currently meet ICC minimum support standards. Frontier has had a presence in Illinois for a few years.
--Per the ALJ, Frontier bond credit ratings are substantially below Verizon. They are below investment grade. By the way, bond ratings are extremely important for utilities, because they borrow lots of money. Major impact on their ability to pay debt. Similar to an individual's credit rating and the cost to borrow.
--ALJ found that Verizon South (1 of the 2 Verizon ILECs in IL) had not met the ICC 80% broadband availability req by Jan 1 2005, or even now. (Verizon South is the smaller country cousin ILEC in IL.) Oh, the required speed was the 200 Kbps . Wow, super speedy. I remember when that speed was a dream. Now, it's pitiful. |
