Re: Too much..
said by N3OGH  :Too much mergin' goin' on 'round here! Here is the map and how it will look when the merger is approved:
If you look at the map and see how Verizon wants out of Maine & Vermont, they are coming in 3rd in this horse race. Even Fios may not save them in the long run. |

Anyone else immediately think of Risk when seeing this? 
Interesting map, as I'm unfamiliar with who provides where.

Funny isn't it? I remember the running joke when I used to work at Qwest on the unregulated data side was that we had more barb wire than local customers. |

Pensacola, FL | Embarq is a RBOC, but serves a city here, a city there.
If in Tallahassee, Embarq is your provider. |

Only problem with that map is, it's not entirely accurate. Verizon provides service in states like WA, and OR, as does Qwest. |

It also says that Qwest's area is all from USWest. Qwest only picked up a few states from that deal. Otherwise they were Qwest long before the West Deal. |

Had them here in Tallahassee and in Orlando. Parents in Sopchoppy have it. I don't know where the Sprint and Bellsouth lines begin and end but it seems to me Sprint serves large sections of Florida...but I don't know that for sure.
Either way, a very interesting map.

Embarq is not, nor ever has been, a RBOC. You kind of have to be from the Bell System to qualify as a RBOC.

said by rachelsfx :Embarq is a RBOC RBOC=Regional Bell Operating Company. Embarq was formerly known as Sprint which was formerly known as United Telecommunications. It was never part of the Bell System.
Embarq is, however, an ILEC like the RBOCs as opposed to a CLEC. ILEC=Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier and CLEC=Competitive Local Exchange Carrier. Maybe that's what you were thinking.

It's a volunteer effort and thus will have certain mistakes. The map does not take into account Verizon's ex-GTE properties in the South and West Coast. |

| said by Xela19115 :The map does not take into account Verizon's ex-GTE properties in the South and West Coast. Verizon is a unique animal. They are made up of both Bell and Non-Bell assets. They had RBOC properties in the northeast and independent GTE properties scattered throughout the country.
In some states (like Pennsylvania) they had both Bell (Bell Atlantic) and independent (GTE) lines. Now they are all doing business under the Verizon name.
