Verizon, the FCC, no phone service, and more

http://j.mp/11YYra4  (IEEE)

   "Today's show is about a country that, after a natural disaster,
    couldn't restore phone service to some of its people for seven months.
    Do I mean Sri Lanka after the 2004 tsunami? Haiti and the 2010
    earthquake? Nope, it's the United States after Hurricane Sandy. In
    towns in New York and New Jersey, today, in May 2013, the incumbent
    carrier, Verizon, has not fully restored landline phone service and
    may never do so, breaking a century-old promise."
