It makes you think what Verizon's motive is. Are they really trying to be nice guys?

Nah. It just makes economic sense. They've made a huge investment in FIOS and they want to reap the returns. The best way to do so is to have more lines in use. The more ISPs that offer the service, the more customers that will sign up and use their service in one way or another.

For Verizon, it's a win-win situation.
It's not just that, it's that, when they sell to an ISP, that ISPs going to pay for blocks of lines, whether or not they have the customers to pay for them. This allows Verizon to get back their investment quicker.

That's exactly what I said.

EDIT

OK, well not exactly. But it's what I was thinking when I wrote that.
