Verizon Finally Starts Wiring Rural Massachusetts - 3Mbps DSL to be deployed to long un-served communities... (May 02 2008 13:57 GMT) - Verizon recently sold off its DSL networks in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine because they didn't feel those largely rural states were profitable. While they held on to Massachusetts because of Boston and its suburbs, they've been under fire for limited deployment in the western part of the State and have faced pressure from a Governor -- who not only wanted to expand deployment in the State, but last year almost forced Verizon to (gasp) pay property taxes in the State (they've been exempt since 1915). To keep those pesky lawmakers at bay, Verizon says they've started rolling out 3Mbps DSL to a number of previously un-served communities, including one I've long profiled (Leverett) as a prime example of one of this nation's broadband black holes.When the work is completed, Verizon expects High Speed Internet service will be available to 70 percent of its customer lines, on average, in the new towns. The new broadband deployment of Verizon's High Speed Internet network would reach two-thirds of the 31 western Massachusetts communities identified by the state as having no high-speed broadband services. |
