Verizon Beats The Rush... Puts Upstate New York, Hawaii Operations Up For Sale

Verizon wants to (preferably... :-) sell its Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) operations in upstate New York and the state of Hawaii. This article states that such sales typically garner valuations in excess of US$3,000 per access line, but Verizon's Hawaii operations won't fetch that much.

  • About Steve Stroh

    In 1996, I was fascinated to discover that providing Internet Access via license-exempt wireless technologies was not only possible, but being done routinely by a small band of pioneering Internet Service Providers.

    By mid-1997, I was writing professionally about Broadband Wireless Internet Access (BWIA) as a monthly columnist in Boardwatch Magazine.

    In 2000, I began writing about BWIA full time in my own blogs, for numerous other publications, and my own subscription newsletter.

    From 2008 - 2015, I took a hiatus from writing about BWIA, but my interest in BWIA did not wane. From 2016 - 2020 I worked to resume writing full time.
