And if they have their way, would be out of the phone business in New York State except for Westchester County, NYC, LI and part of Ct. that they serve.

So that's who bought them. That was one suck-ass system. My Dad had this 5 pound cable modem, presumably pre-DOCSIS. It was a Bay/Nortel "LANCity". GTE was an interesting telco. They actually tried "innovation" now and again; the reason the service was so bad (at least on the data side) is that the system was built back when this cable modem thing was still "new". VZ then bought GTE and never really put any money in it.
