Every time Verizontal has installed FIOS at a friend's house; they have insisted they have to cut off the copper and move your POTS to the glass. By doing so, they block anyone else such as COVAD or Cavalier from renting the copper for competitive access. Sources report that today, at the Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, http://energycommerce.house.gov/cmte_mtgs/110-ti-hrg.100207.Witness.List.pdf Thomas Tauke, Exec VP for Verizon, denied ever doing that. [The transcript should be up in a day or so.] Oh? I wonder if Dingell's Committee staff is interested in hearing from people where they did just that?
