NY Attorney General to Verizon: Either Serve Your Customers Or Sell
and Get Out

http://j.mp/1aDsk2a  (Stop the Cap)

   "Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is more than a little concerned
    with Verizon's plans to abandon offering landline service on the
    western half of Fire Island and potentially other areas further
    upstate to satisfy the company's wireless business strategy.  In a
    hostile 13-page filing directed to the New York Public Service
    Commission, Schneiderman's office accused Verizon of abdicating its
    responsibility to provide universal access to high quality landline
    service in favor of moving customers to inferior Verizon Wireless
    service."
