FairPoint actually is an essential interconnect for a lot of telecommunications service providers. They are now owed $hundreds of thousands in fines due to poor performance on the part of FairPoint. For example, "GWI, which has 20,000 customers in Maine, stands to receive more than $350,000 in penalties from FairPoint."
The cable ip phone providers have to connect to FairPoint too. You can't escape them.
This is a potential emergency situation. I do not wish any ill to our phone system or the workers who run it. Being one, I certainly want to see good service for Maine telephone customers. There better be a serious mitigation plan to avoid a collapse. PUC, are you listening?
