The 2.7 Billion Dollar Phone Deal Has Some Critics

By David Darman on Friday, January 19, 2007.

Fairpoint Communications officials say they'll work hard to deliver high speed internet service to rural parts of New Hampshire.

The company has struck a 2.7 billion dollar deal to take over all of Verizon's local phone business in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.

But the union that represents about one-thousand Verizon workers in New Hampshire is promising to oppose the deal when it comes before state regulators.
