Verizon Permitted to Default on PA Broadband Deal
Rich writes "This is simply amazing to me. Broadband Reports has the latest chapter concerning Verizon's con of Pennsylvania unearthed by telco-critic Bruce Kushnick last February. A 1994 agreement between Verizon and the state of Pennsylvania paid dividends to Verizon in excess of $2.1 Billion in tax cuts and other deregulatory goodies over the years. Verizon's part of that deal was to deploy 45Mbps symmetrical fiber service fiber to PA homes and residents by 2015 (something they knew would never happen). This week the well-lobbied state has apparently voted to totally ignore the 1995 agreement, after Verizon's already walked away with the cash, leaving PA residents (who are already pretty low on the broadband food chain according to a new report) high and dry."

I suspect maybe, the Moral Majority Cult (MMC), Islamic Fundamentalist Extremist (IFE), Business Globalization Politicians (BGP), and Capitalist Republic Politicians (CRP) are highly invested in the Global Military Industrial Conplex (GMIC) [crimes against humanity complex].

SO SPOKE THE MORAL MAJORITY after 2001/09/11, Religious Fat-Cats Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell praised and supported the terrorist attack on the NYC World Trade Center, by saying (http://lundissimo.info/wtc/falwell.html): Jerry said, "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve." Pat Robertson replied, "Jerry, that's my feeling."
