Which means they're not offering service. They're simply offering the network for open competition. Exactly as a municipal project should do. This should scare Verizon, as it will take away the advantage of owning the network, and providing service on it. Of course it says nothing for their ethics that they try to sue in order to stop this completely legit type of competition. This is the consequence of squeezing all your competitors off your own network; society SHOULD be correcting this inefficiency. |
