Verizon has had a difficult time getting approval for the sale of its networks to FairPoint in 3 New England regions. The state of Maine was the first to approve the deal after many revisions were made to the terms of the sale. A few weeks ago, Vermont regulators struck a tentative deal allowing the sale to potentially move forward. The Vermont Public Service Board officially approved that deal yesterday. The approval makes Vermont the second state to allow the sale to move forward. However, Verizon is reviewing the additional terms imposed by the Vermont ruling before making a decision as to whether they agree with the sale under the new conditions. These new conditions add over $30 million in concessions including $25 million for the establishment of a 3-year enhancement plan which FairPoint had previously agreed to set aside. If Verizon agrees with the terms, they will need to work on getting approval from New Hampshire before the sale can be completely approved.
