Verizon customers forced onto Frontier
- zzalpha 11y agoForced? Yeah, that title isn't editorialized. Verizon divested themselves of some of their wireline footprint, selling it off to Frontier. This is no different than, say, a cell company merger or similar. Don't like it? Switch providers. But Verizon is no longer an option for you. The reality is, Verizon is leaving the terrestrial television business in a big way, and if I had to bet, they'll be a pure wireless company in the not-too-distant future. As an aside, this also should be no surprise to Verizon subscribers in affected areas. This deal was announced last February and approved last September: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fcc-approves-sale-of-verizon-local-wireline-operations-in-california-florida-texas-to-frontier-communications-300137234.html http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/fcc-approves-sale-of...
