| Verizon's decision to dump New England looking better Looks like Verizon made the right decision to get out of providing landline service in New England. They got to dump a non-profitable business and escape the type of over-regulation of businesses that New England is known for.

It's not a black & white issue of over-regulation or under-regulation as many people on either side of the argument would like you to believe.
It's a matter of proper and functional necessary regulation and then proper enforcement and prevention of corruption and special interest after the fact. |

These areas made a profit, just not enough profit for the corporate bean counters. They see that almost 100% profit of a text message and want to get away from any service that doesn't provide the profit margin cell service provides.
