What would people be saying if at&t had done this?
I wonder how this would be reported if at&t had dumped their rural areas onto Frontier and Fairpoint and saddled them with unmanageable debt, and antiquated networks? I am pretty sure it would be front page news in every newspaper
How so? Did Verizon force Fairpoint or Frontier to buy something they didn't actively pursue? You and Karl make it seem like Verizon pulled a fast one. "Psst. Hey buddy I got a hot property for sale" Fairpoint and Frontier both are established corporations. If they got "duped" as Karl puts it, then shame on them.

Have you missed the numerous Anti-Verizon posts and stories on the net about this?
How could you possibly argue that people are taking this lightly compared to what would happen if AT&T did this?

reply to Pathfinder If you are a rural legacy customer of Frontier you are acutely aware that the service has not significantly improved in that last 3 years. Frontier will tell you they have made a tremendous investment in the network in your area. Only problem is their definition of area expands hundreds of miles out from where you are actually located. The services and speeds they advertise as being available may be available in the 'Frontier defined area" but not in your immediate area. Everyone can continue to say how Verizon pulled one over on Frontier, but as a rural legacy Frontier customer I have to say bah hum-bug. Frontier has neglected the legacy customers just as they accused Verizon of having done prior to being purchased by Frontier. In WV they are a monopoly sanctioned by the state.
