I Thought This Was a NonProfitable State

If so, then how can Fairpoint reduce the cost of landline by more than $4 a month. Does this mean Verizon was over charging by $4 a month, and taking those PROFITS out of state.

Probably is unprofitable. Regulators and politicians get to look good for now with a "tough" negotiation and lowered rates for consumers.

A year from now Fairpoint will complain that they are going bankrupt and the regulators will then allow a infrastructure restructuring fee of $8.

yes... yes it does...

VZ said Maine and NE in general are unprofitable cuz it didn't meet their definition of profit.... they dont feel double digit profit is profit... they want triple to quad...
