I don't know. Remember that because the Bells are involved in more than Broadband, they need to keep decent relations with all regulating bodies. Maybe you're right about the corporate attitude about the "value added services" but, at some point in the future, Verizon will be looking for expanded abilities to offer long-distance services or other "core" telco services, and I'm sure they won't want all of this consumer discord held over their heads by PUCs and Attornies General.
