Commissioner Sherman Elliott
Acting Commissioner John Colgan
Illinois Commerce Commission
527 East Capitol Avenue
Springfield, IL 62701
Dear Acting Chairman Flores, Commissioners Ford, O'Connell-Diaz, Elliott, and Acting Commissioner Colgan:
In the face of our protracted national recession, one of my top priorities as Governor of Illinois is to create jobs.
As Chairman of the Illinois Broadband Deployment Council, one of my related, long-standing goals is to improve the cost, speed and availability of world-class information and communication networks in rural, low-income, and disadvantaged communities. That's why as Governor I have advocated aggressively for State investment in Illinois' broadband future.
The "Illinois Jobs NOW!" public works plan, signed into law last July, designates $50 million for State financial commitments to seed the growth of exceptional broadband infrastructure projects. In the interest of smart planning, it also calls on Illinois Departments of Transportation and Central Management Services to install fiber optic duct (where it does not already exist) in all new public construction projects that open, bore, or trench alongside State-owned infrastructure.
Of course, I also believe that broadband network investments made possible by the private telecommunications industry will hasten innovation in education, government, public safety, health care, economic and community development in Illinois. Frontier Telecommunication's proposed acquisition of Verizon's Illinois territory offers a real chance for meaningful jobs and growth in the Illinois economy.
To the extent that an expansion of Frontier's footprint in Illinois represents potential job and broadband expansion opportunities, I urge the Commission to give a careful and comprehensive review of the Frontier acquisition. Especially in these economic times, we should promote and facilitate investments in technology and telecommunications progress that will create jobs in Illinois and will provide opportunities and access to our rural, low-income, and disadvantaged communities.
I appreciate the magnitude and stakes of your review in this case and I am grateful for the chance to offer these comments. Thank you for your time, your service, and your thoughtful consideration.

I'm opposed to the sale with out full disclosure being made and long out standing troubles corrected. This needs to be proven that the trouble has been repaired and the customers are getting what they pay for.
Examples is the wire line service should provide continued service without the benefit of the Electric utility for some extended time. I continue to have the same re-occurring problem over several years. Why would upper management not catch repair this problem or is it easier to sell the bad stuff to Frontier Communications.
Another Example was some years ago I worked for a major business that was a major user of GTE/Verizon lines. I learned that my service would be sub-standard following seeing a particular technician working in the area. I would check most the circuits before leaving work and report the problems. When that fellow retired I again had a normal system.
For now my problem continues and has went beyond 3 strikes your out. Yesterday was strike number five in less than 4 years.
Again I'm opposed to any sale or transfer of territory that will live live up to the expectations of service that the customer has paid for in advance. What antique equipment is being sold that parts are not available??

Please "ensure "that safe, reliable, and fairly priced telephone service" that meets the "present and future needs of Illinois consumers and businesses."" (The CUB Voice; Winter 2010) I use Verizon because this issue came about when "Ma Bell" was split-up, MCI could not deliver good service, so back I went, and to higher service rates.

We are highly in favor of Frontier taking over our land line service from Verizon.
We had significant difficulty in establishing our land line service when we moved into Verizon's service area last summer. Verizon's web site is difficult to use, and getting a live person on the phone is nearly impossible. When we finally did get service, it didn't work. When we finally were able to get a service man to our house, he told us the problem was in our house wiring. As an electrical engineer, I know enough about phone service that I was able to prove to him that the problem was in Verizon's line. It took almost a week after that for Verizon to get the line working.
We believe Verizon concentrates on its wireless services and is no longer interested in providing good land line services.
We would like to have high speed internet service in our home and Verizon does not offer it. Frontier has indicated that expanding high speed internet would be one of their efforts.
Please allow our phone service to be sold to a company that wants to provide good, up-to-date services to our area.
Thank you.

Emails and information has been provided to Judge Tapia and many others on the service list to provide the following details.
Verizon has knowingly and purposely allowed tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of current and former employees to work with and use carbonless copy paper, ccp, they knew could cause serious adverse health effects, disabilities, cancer and death. Verizon, going back to Bell Atlantic, BA, have known of the potential for such adverse health problems going back to the early 90's. Verizon, BA had suspected ccp as causing adverse health problems in several offices. They had been in contact with manufactuers of the ccp , gotten a list of some of the carcinogens, reproductive toxins, hazardous chemicals used in the ccp as well as a long list of information, research on the potential for adverse health effects from use and exposure to the ccp. Corporate warnings were prepared to give to all employees of such knonw potential adverse health effects. Instead of giving such warnings, sick and disabled employees have been fired, forced to retire, denied disabilities and all other benefits. This to save money from disability , workers comp and other related claims. Apparently it became financially better for employees to be allowed to become sick and disabled, allow birth defects for children and untold numbers die rather than pay any associated claims. Now there is no way to tell how many of the hundreds of thousands of current and former employees may be affected.
A lot of employees on social sites are saying they have known adverse health effects and can likely file claims against Verizon. In addition, there is a growing list of employees that claim Verizon and a company they have hired are tricking them into giving up retirements and other benefits they are on and instead tricking Social Security into paying benefits for employees.
Now, Verizon is aware that litigation is expected to be filed against them shortly that could involve thousands of employees and cost hundreds of millions or more in related losses. This could leave a shortage of employees and great losses for both Verizon and possibly Frontier. All corporate officers and others of Verizon, Frontier and many others that are aware of all these and many other related facts. Both seem to be secreting such information for review before the sale of Verizon is made to Frontier.
I will be glad to providing more details to anyone and will be making a formal filing to this case.
firstname.lastname@example.com, corporate counsel 212-395-1284 or cell 202-494-9054 can confirm allegations and copies of docements provided.

The ICC staff and ALJ. Tapia should be commended in doing due diligence in this case. The proposed order is right and should be upheld as is by the commissioners. The evidence shows that Frontier Communications at this time is not financially sound enough to take on the added burden of Verizon's customers and Employees. The chance for harm to both and to the State of Illinois IF Frontier is not able to meet the promises they have made for better and expanded service, the "Synergies" they HOPE to have , and the projections that may never happen makes this a right decision at this time. At such time Frontier can better their financial position and have investment grade status then and only then a different decision could be arrived at.

I live in Rantoul which is serviced by Verizon. I have no concern regarding the sale of these Verizon properties to Frontier. Verizon is unloading properties they no longer have a desire to serve. Do you think for one minute they are going to invest in these communities, if so I have a good idea how you voted in the election.
I worked for the local phone company before it was Verizon, actually well before. I saw the company change hands becoming Alltel and never experienced a decrease in service until Verizon took over. They cut the workforce nearly in half, decreased the number of outside plant employees and service related employees effectively taking an adequate service to one which remains poor on the best days. Now comes a company who desires to be in the landline business and will commit to improving service and everyone is against this. Take off the rose colored glasses folks. Verizon does not want to be in the landline business, they will not improve service for landline customers and regardless of all political positioning no Government agency can force them to improve. What is the State of Illinois going to do take over the phone company?
If you think keeping Verizon will keep union jobs in place you need a reality check.
Go with someone who wants to provide you service they at least will make a commitment.

From Billing and OSS magazine:
Frontier Is No FairPoint
03/10/2010 11:59
Let's get one thing clear: Frontier Communications is no FairPoint. FairPoint was ill-prepared, overambitious, inexperienced and in denial when it relentlessly pursued the acquisition of 1.3 million access lines from Verizon so it could become the eighth largest telco in the U.S. Unfortunately, it succeeded, then proceeded to fail ... spectacularly.
As a result, Frontier is now getting extra scrutiny in its bid to acquire 4.8 million more of Verizon's local access lines across 14 states. And this week Judge Lisa M. Tapia in Illinois – a state with the legislative and fiscal bragging rights of a third-world country – has decided Frontier would take on too much debt to allow it to properly manage those lines and other infrastructure and has advised state regulators not to approve the deal.
First of all, no one from Illinois should be lecturing anyone on operating with too much debt. The only reason someone from Illinois steps forward and takes the moral high ground to protect its helpless citizens is because they haven't gotten theirs yet. That, or they've been watching Washington and learned how lucrative it could be to be the last holdout.
If Judge Tapia or CUB executive director David Kolata or the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are looking at the FairPoint debacle as a precursor to what might happen with a Frontier acquisition, they should let it go.
FairPoint was founded in 1991. It was still a tiny company in September of 2006 when it began contemplating its future among the big boys and the lure of taking on another 1.3 million access lines and 234,000 high-speed data subscribers. Why, by then it had already grown to a whopping 252,000 access lines. It was more of an investment firm than a phone company and did underestimate the operational and financial challenge of supporting a much bigger – and much older – network.
Frontier is under no such delusions. Frontier is run by more level-headed and frugal business leaders backed by a team of experienced core and access networking and operations experts with a legacy that goes back to the 1880s with Rochester Telephone Corporation. Not everyone in these days of the Internet views the long legacy of a telephone company as an asset, but when it comes to operating 4.8 million traditional copper pairs in diverse geographic markets, I'd lay my money on a telephone legacy over an investment company any day.
The Communications Workers of America has cited customer satisfaction surveys that show Frontier ranked far below Verizon in places such as West Virginia for its broadband service, but Verizon won't be investing in these facilities – Frontier will. And Frontier, on average, covers a larger percentage of customers with broadband. It is easy to score high when you only serve customers to whom you can deliver the highest bandwidth.
It tugs at my heart strings to hear so many leaders in Illinois concerned over the quality of our "utility" telephone service. It really does.

sale to frontier not a good deal for frontier or illinois .verizon is all about making money . right now they are acting like a very very shaddy cars sales person . right now verizon is denying some customer s in pontiac il hsi just because they dont want to buy the central office card to stick in the vacant card slot. there is existing hsi at this location and available slots for the hsi card but verizon doesnot want to buty them . there are miles and miles of bad osp and miles of wire on the ground in the osp . they have came to the central offices and have acctually taken out phone switches and bays to store in a verizon location on the east coast this was all done after the frontier walk through . behind there back . icc should not approve unless they are forced to put billions of dollars restoring the osp to acceptable standards and expanding hsi to rural areas and actually try to get land line customers and not drive them away with empty promises or lies.verizon makes it employees lie about time sheets and repairs everyday just to make the numbers look good not caring at all about customer satisfaction they just want to blame the outside plant problems on some one else. AND WHY WOULDNT VERIZON PAY OUT THE PENSION PLANS TO THE EMPLOYEES SINCE FRONTIER DOESNOT EVEN HAVE ONE .MY RELATIVES WIFE WORKS FOR A BANK AND ITHAS CHANGED NAMES 3 TIMES IN LAST 5 YRS. EVERYTIME SHE GETS A OPTION TO TRANSFER HER PENSION TO THE NEW BANK , OR ROLL IT OVER INTO A IRA OR OTHER RETIREMENT ACCOUNT VERIZON EMPLOYEES NEED THIS OPTION .
March 11, 2010
not a good deal for illinois or employees,verizons plan is to bankrupt froniter in about 7 yrs .WITH THE EXPANSION OF THE 700 MHZ BANDWIDTH they have bought. also where is frontier getting all the money to buy verizon and expand hsi r they borrowing it .maybe the government is giving them some if so then why hasnt verizon asked the government for money for hsi . also frontier said it plans to expand hsi to reach 85 percent of vz customers i thought there was a law passed a few years ago in illinois requiring it to be 85 percent .also verizon has not upgraded any osp in years they have wires runningon the ground for yrs hoping the customers just go to cell phones so they dont have to spend money on replacing cable to give the customer service .verizon customer service reps are even trying to sell or push these customers to wireless cell phones .also this is a sale verizon should pay out all the pensions to the employees affected and not give them to frontier so they can spend it frontier doesnt even have a pension plan why should they bet to handle it .this is very unfair . also verizon and frontier both manipulate the numbers to make them look good or bad however they want them to look . bottom line in 5 yrs verizon plans to renter illinois selling dial tone and hsi and possible tv with there 700 mhz analog signal that they bought . this signal travels through walls and is very reliable ..oh ya rember that the big corporations told the government that that old 700 mhz used for tv broadcast was out of date and was no good anymore or used by anyone that everyone needs to switch to digital tv .because it is better (not). better for what i ask it for a picture that freezes and cuts out if u ask any one they would be glad to switch back to the analog signal . why did they want u to switch to digital just to big corporation s see money and that is it that is a strong signal that works through walls and trees and travels a lot farther than cell phone tower s do today but wait a minute cell phone towers are digital . it just proves analog is better but it is to cheap or set up by government not to make money so that is why they are pushing digital to make analog obsolete so they can by it for nothing and reinvent it and are free to charge what ever they want for it .

I live within the city limits of Springfield, Illinois and have a Verizon land line. The Verizon underground lines to my house are only 14 years old and therefore the latest equipment technology, I assume. However, no DSL internet connection is available with Verizon. Frontier Communications, who wants to purchase the Verizon territory said that they want to create a "pure rural communications service."
Since I live in the city of Springfield with 110,000 people I don't want rural communication services, I want urban communication services that can provide a DSL internet connection and reasonable telephone rates. About 95% of of the people within the city limits of Springfield have AT&T land line phone service, which also provides DSL internet service. The basic Verizon telephone line charge and interstate access charges are $7.78 more a month than AT&T with no DSL internet service. Apparently you pay Verizon more, for less service.
I realize that changing boundary lines for utility companies is highly unusual and that some people would say that AT&T has a monopoly on the telephone system in Illinois. However, if Frontier Communications wants to be a rural communication service, let them serve the rural population and let AT&T serve the urban population. I don't think it would be an unreasonable request for the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) and the telephone/communications companies to reevaluate their territory boundaries every 50 years and to allow these companies to realign the boundaries among each other in order to better reflect the current municipal boundaries and to provide those communities with better communications services in an economical manner. Obviously those companies that would give up territory would have to be compensated fairly.
It would be an ideal time for AT&T to be allowed to purchase Verizon's territory within the Springfield city limits during the ICC's approval process of this particular case involving Verizon selling their territory to Frontier Communications. I suggest to the ICC that they allow AT&T to purchase Verizon/Frontier territory within the Springfield city limits for the appropriate amount in order to provide better and cheaper service while providing continuity in the city of Springfield with one telephone company.

As a owner of a software billing company in Champaign, I would like to go on record as supporting the sale of landlines from Verizon to Frontier. If this sale goes through, our current company's role with Frontier will grow tremendously. We currently employ 96 people in Champaign County and this additional business will allow us to continue to grow and potentially add new employees. I am also a former COO of a telecom company in SC and can tell you that Frontier is very capable of handling the current network configurations. There would be no noticeable difference in the quality of service moving from Verizon to Frontier.

Customer called concerned about dependable phone service, and doesn't want for the phone-service take over to happen. Customer states that there have been dependability issues with Verizon in the past, and is very concerned that service reliability will go down again if this take-over is permitted to happen.

I have looked at the financial information of Frontier Communications and have concluded that it looks to me that their net worth has decreased by half or more since 12/2005. They are paying a 12-13% dividend to their shareholders which is nice if you can afford it. My feelings is that they need a revenue stream to survive. I hope the ICC is looking into this aspect of the deal. States appear to be putting conditions to benefit themselves, how will these conditions work if Frontier continues to lose asset value and becomes compromised financially. I am not sure they have done due diligence on what they are buying and suggestions that Verizon not being able to just take the money and run and somehow keeping skin in the game so to speak may help Frontier survive and maybe prosper.

I am concerned about Frontier's proposed acquisition of Verizon's rural landlines. As a resident and Village Trustee of Broadlands, a rural village of about 300 people in southeastern Champaign County, I am concerned for several reasons.
First, I share the questions of others regarding Frontier's ability to continue providing telecommunication services after incurring the debt required to purchase the lines from Verizon. If Frontier were to become economically distressed, or even bankrupt, what would happen to our service?
Second, will the prices customers pay for telephone service increase as a result of this deal? Customers pay high prices for telephone service already. Basic telephone service is about $30 per month.
Third, I am concerned about additional services. Verizon's website advertises several high-speed internet options and even television service. However, in our Village, there are no land-based broadband internet options. Some residents are situated such that satellite internet is available, but those customers pay exorbitant monthly fees (and installation charges as well) for services which have been described as unreliable and slow. Those satellite customers are typically locked into service contracts with hefty cancellation fees, regardless of the reason for cancellation (like sporadic service). In more urban areas, and even in some rural towns nearby, residents have more internet options, like DSL, cable, even fiber optic, for more reasonable monthly rates. I question whether Frontier would be able to provide our village with quality, reasonably-priced internet service. Indeed, Verizon has been unwilling to do so. Furthermore, Verizon does not even offer dial-up internet in our village, and further stipulates in its home long-distance policy that service may be terminated at Verizon's discretion if it is discovered that long-distance is being used for data reception (as in dial-up internet). Indeed, I contacted Verizon a year ago to inquire about having a T1 internet line run to our village, to supply our village hall and other buildings with a dedicated internet conenction. Verizon refuses to deal with our village on the issue. We are tired of being left out -- Verizon apparently will not install an internet line even if our village paid for it -- and Frontier's economic status would seem to make it more unlikely that we will ever see high-speed internet here in Broadlands.
I look forward to seeing how our concerns are addressed by Frontier, Verizon, and the Commission.

Until Verizon is required to repair all the damaged boxes and lines they should not be allowed to sell their land lines to anyone. I would be happy to provide pictures to the commission of what I am talking about. I gave up trying to have a land line along time ago because I could never count on it. The only person who was ever able to ge my phone working was an outside contractor sent when Verizon could not repair my line. He told me the real problems with my line and the transmission line also.
Verizon Wireless on the other hand is an excellent company providing the best and most reliable service across the midwest and eastern seaboard. I can't speak for the rest of the country as I have not used my phone there.

Moving service from Verizon to Frontier in my estimation will diminish the quality of phone service. Frontier does not have the resources to duplicate that of Verizon. It is for this reason I think service will deteriorate.

These smaller companies cannot hope to provide comparable service to Verizon. Verizon's current customers have signed up for the service Verizon alone can provide with the service network (including towers, call centers, a repair fleet of considerable size, etc.) which Verizon alone possesses. Transferring these customers' service to an inferior carrier is, in every instance, a breach of contract and therefore unethical business.
Rev. Matthew R. Stolz
February 1, 2010
I am very much against the sale of my landline to Frontier Communications. Verizon has a terrible service record in our area (partially due to severely deteriorated lines and equipment) and, with a much smaller company like Frontier, the service can only get worse. Frontier is simply not equipped with the employees, funds, experience, and technical support experience (to mention a few but not all reasons) to effectively service our basic needs. Verizon has "milked" our phone system for profit and not reinvested in the basic equipment and/or lines to maintain the system. It is a farce to expect and small company like Frontier to correct what Verizon failed or refused to do. I have cancer and very much depend on my landline to contact physicians and emergency personel. Please refuse to sanction this sale and thereby force Verizon to face up to their long-neglected responsibility to it's consumers. Thank you.

Reliable and established communication modes are critical to the everyday function of families and commerce. The proposed sale of Verizon south lines to a company ill equipped to sustain competent and reliable service is contrary to the function of society in this and other areas of the country. I urge you to give careful and non-financially related consideration to this request.

I do not have confidence that such a small company as Frontier has the management skill or expertise to effectively handle an expansion of this size. I would've NEVER renewed my contract if I had been aware of this possiblility.
Xanthe Emerick
February 1, 2010
I strongly oppose the conversion of Verizon service to Frontier service.
Frontier is, so far as I know, a company that has never done business in this
area, so we have little confidence that service will be up to standard.
We already have some disappointment with Verizon. For 2 months a
year, we live in a house outside Estes Park, CO. And there we get
no Verizon service. No one can call in. For outgoing calls, when we
think it worthwhile, we have to drive 2 miles down the mountain to get
service. Accordingly we have to put in a landline for 2 months and
pay fees and installation charge and use the Verizon phone as a
So not being fully satisfied as things are now, we would be strongly
opposed to a change which might further reduce the value of our
Verizon contract.

I do not have any confidence that such a small company as Frontier has the management skill, expertise, or equipment necessary to effectively handle an expansion of this size. I am unsure if this particular acquisition would affect me directly (I do have Verizon cell phone service) but am sure it would AT LEAST effect me if I travel into the area that Frontier wishs to aquire.
I have Verizon cell phone service because their coverage and equipment to provide said coverage is exceptionally good. It took me a lot of years (I come from the 'bag-phone' era) to find a service that truly provided for my means. I fear that this requested reorganization would truly diminish my current success in that area.
I truly believe that a Verizon-Frontier merger would be bad for Illinois.
Thank you for listening.

Verizon should not be allowed to sell it's land line phone service. For several years it has made service and repair more difficult to obtain in what I believe is an effort to discourage hard wire phone service and build their cell business. This decline began when General telephone became this company called Verizon. Allowing them to divest themselves of what they think is now a nuisance network after the profits from that system allowed them to build their cell network would be obcene betrayal to all Verizon (GenTel) ccustomers who still have serious need off a land line for dial-up and fax and basic phone communication. Should the elderly who are not and will not embrace cellphone techknowlegy be forced to be subjected to inferior service from some tiny unknown company that is probaly aquiring the wired service from Verizon to earn enough revenue to expand it's own entrance into the cellphone market. How will a smaller company, unheard of in all of the current verizon territory be able to provide reliable service and repair? Do they now have the personnel ready to take over this vast network and provide repair and maintenance? I totally reject the idea of a smaller unknown taking over my phone service at 217-832-9715. This is on it's face a scam by Verizon to abandon the customers that paid for Verizon's success in the cellphone market.

We had a local phone company then Frontier bought them out. In the beginning everything was fine but as time went along everything went downhill. It tooks days to get service, their people were not the best, our local office closed so you got the old call a number then talk to a machine. They added internet and like the phone at first it was good but went downhill. The their dialup was very slow and they're so called faster service was not much better and both were very unreliable. A 5th grader knew more about how the net or a pc worked and how to install then their people. They had no cell service of anykind. Most people have dropped their hardline service in favor of more reliable cell companies with only local buisnesses being their major landline customers. In short their people, services and company get a grade of D most most of our residents and past customers.

February 1, 2010
To anticipate that a small company such as Frontier Communications Corporation can handle such a sizable growth without causing significant problems for the customers is unrealistic. The issue really comes down to how it has been shown historically that such a merger is bad for the customers. This merger is inappropriate and should not be approved.

I urge the commision to approve the sale of Illinois access lines to Frontier Communications without delay: Verizon has no interest in Illinois other than a revenue source from which to drain assests and use them to fund expansions in densely populated states, such as New York for the expressed purposes of delivering FIOS.
I am appauled that the public, Unions and Commission would wait to raise concerns about this matter after I was forced for more than 5 years (as a Verizon Employee) to work excessive overtime due to severe staff cuts in Illinois operations; heretofore there was no concern or outcry to the lack of funding by Verizon.
Ivan Seidenberg, Verizon's CEO, has told business investors that "landlines are dead." What does the public, Unions and Commission think that Verizon will do if they are left holding Illinois?
It would be a welcome change to have a phone ompany in Illinios who wants to be a 'phone company' and is serious about exanding broadband serices in under-served areas.

We are Verizon customers and are concerned about Frontiers capability to handle the rural lines operated now by Verizon. Our understanding of Frontier is that they aren't capable of caring for the customers they have now. I would advise to take a long, hard look before allowing them to take on more customer.

I am against Verizon Communications, Inc being able to sell their access lines to Frontier Communications Corporation.

After reading this posting by CUB, i feel compelled to protest
the Verizon-Frontier deal.:
The proposed sale of 4.8-million Verizon access lines to Frontier raises numerous public interest concerns as to Frontier's ability to succeed where several previous Verizon divestitures have proven to be major trainwrecks," Boston-based telecom expert Lee Selwyn said in an introduction to his testimony. "Frontier has failed to demonstrate that its senior management have either the experience or the focus to successfully run the proposed Illinois operations."

Verizon has never or never will offer any kind of high speed internet service (DSL).
I switched to Comcast when Comcast offered 'Comcast Triple Play'.
Verizons phone bills were outrageous! On top of that Verizon shut off my phone service before I was switched over to Comcast. They claimed that Comcast was responsible. I found out differently.
As far as I'm concerned let 'Frontier' buy them out!!!

I am opposed the the sale of Verizon lines in Illinois to Frontier. I feel that given the dubious history of previous Verizon sales to similar small companies that service quality and pricing will only suffer. I do not have confidence that such a small company as Frontier has the management skill or expertise to effectively handle an expansion of this size. Likewise given the increasing competitive pressure that comes from cellular and DSL phone service Frontier will not be able to survive. Land lines are still a very important communication service especially for our senior citizens who need that connection for their protection and safety. I strongly encourage the commission to deny this sale.

Verizon service in Illinois is excellent now. Selling local lines could potentially hurt approximately 600,000 Illinois customers. I am against the sale!

As stated by Lee Selwyn, this sale should not be approved unless Verizon is required to keep its stock in Frontier for at least five years so the company will be forced to support Verizon and its management until Frontier is able to provide stable, high-quality service.
November 3, 2009
I am writing to oppose the sale of Verizon local land lines to Frontier Communications. Frontier appears to have limited financial capacity to honor the current phone rates, and will likely be under great pressure to increase rates. Furthermore, I am greatly concerned as to what might happen to my local phone service if Frontier were later to file bankruptcy, as we have seen with other Verizon transactions. I note that AT&T land lines are not available in my area, so the financial stability of my local land line company is very important.
Verizon has benefitted for many years with a local phone monopoly in my community, and the revenue from Verizon land lines (formerly GTE) served as seed money for the highly profitable Verizon cell phone service.

I currently have Verizon North as my landline carrier. I recently changed to a new lower cost plan and it seems like I will like it (except it still costs too much). What will happen to my plan and costs if this sale goes through? I am retired on a fixed income and am concerned about the costs.

Just what we need ,another utility to raise its prices.Verizon was bad enough,they didn't back me up or help me when extra charges was put on my bill.This Frontier is unknown,if it happens I'll go to a cell phone..Let them sink, they don't worry about the seniors

I have moved to TN and already am on the fringes of Verizon service. My account is in IL. I have cancelled most of my Verizon service, but what will it do to my Broadband and Cellular services? Will my contracts still be in force? Will I continue to pay for poor service?
Georgia Hoskins

Please do not let this deal go thru, this will only hurt Illinois customers,A small company can't take care of tis many customers and them get good phone service, people in Illinois can't afford any more costs added to their bills. My father lives alone at 92 , and barely getting by, this is his choice , his independence . he can't afford more bills and he needs good phone service to call for help if needed, please watch out for our residents.

I urge th Commission not to approve the sale of Verizon's sale of it's telephone services to Frontier Communications UNLESS the following guarantees are provided. 1. No rate increases for residential services greater than the rate of inflation. 2. A commitment to provide DSL or similar high-speed Internet access to all premises in the service is made with penalties for non-performance.
Joseph Rosner
October 16, 2009
I'm concerned about the proposed Verizon sale to Frontier of Verizon's rural lines. My research indicates that customers in other states where this sale has happened have not been pleased with their resulting service. Degraded service and and more outages with both voice and DSL lines are frequent complaints. Please don't approve this sale.

GRIMES COUNTY - The man charged with the murder of a Grimes County Liquor Store owner back in 2009 has pleaded guilty to the crime.
22 year old Joshua Ragston was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his admitted role in the robbery and shooting death of Don Stolz.
Stolz was shot outside his store in Navasota - and no suspects were found until a 9-1-1 call in 2011 yielded a confession from a second man, now 28-year old Christopher Boulds.
His trial for murder is set for later this month.

Mr. TURNER. We have a significant problem of sexual assaults in the military, and this bill addresses many of the issues that we know legislatively will help both change the culture and change the environment in the military.
Recent surveys indicate that over 28,000 people have indicated that they have been sexually assaulted in the military, but slightly fewer than 3,000 are willing to
come forward and actually ask that their perpetrators be prosecuted. When you look at that number further, the survey indicates that 62 percent of those who came forward indicated that they felt they were persecuted in the workplace for having done so.
Many victims of sexual assault in the military report that they have been re-victimized, that they, in fact, fear the system, and that there is a sense that if one reports a sexual assault that it will negatively impact one's career and perhaps even put one at risk for further violence.
What we have tried to do in this bill on a bipartisan basis, in working with Niki Tsongas--my cochair of the Sexual Assault Prevention Caucus--and in working with Chairman McKeon and Ranking Member Smith, is to look at ways in which the commander's role can be restricted and to require that the decisionmaking on sexual assaults be pushed up the chain of command, and to instill upon the entire system an evaluation process so that those who are making decisions are held accountable for those decisions.
We have taken away from the commander the ability to set aside a conviction for sexual assault, and we have added a mandatory minimum so that, if you commit a sexual assault, you are out of the military. If there is an inappropriate relationship between a trainee and a trainer, you are out of the military.
We tried to make certain in this that we had bipartisan consensus. Now, there are those who say that we need a whole new judicial system in order to be able to address sexual assault, but, in fact, the judicial system hasn't been the failure; the chain of command has been the failure, and we have addressed that by restricting the authority of the chain of command by requiring decisions be pushed up the chain of command and by imposing criteria of holding them accountable.
Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, there are two things that I think are important to note about the Speier amendment. First is that the author of the amendment is actually a full member of the Armed Services Committee and chose not to offer this amendment in the Armed Services Committee where there could have been unlimited debate on the substance of the amendment; instead choosing to offer it in this more limited format where there were hundreds of amendments and certainly limited time and issues of great import.
Also, it is cast in the light of the fact that you have bipartisan, full support for the provisions that are in our bill that do address sexual assault. The second thing that is important about the Speier amendment is that, as the author noted, there had been debate on this in the Senate. And in that debate, in fact, it was rejected--the structure that was being proposed in the Speier amendment. So we already have the Senate's view, and we also have a bipartisan view of this House on what needs to be done. And we share with the author the absolute commitment that this needs to be addressed.
The manner in which we've done it, again on a bipartisan basis, is by moving it up the chain of command and restricting the chain of command. No more can a commander, by their signature, set aside a conviction for sexual assault. No more can someone who's convicted of a sexual assault stay in the military. We will never have another victim who has to report that after a conviction of a perpetrator for sexual assault, that they were forced to salute their attacker. That attacker will be out.
Now, there is more that we can do. In fact, I want to thank the Rules Committee for having ruled in order my amendment, the Turner amendment, that would also include 2 years of incarceration along with the mandatory minimum of being thrown out. I would encourage everyone to support the Turner amendment that actually would like to increase the penalties beyond what we've done.

Press release from Marketwire
Banro Increases Oxide and Free-milling Ounces of Gold by 45%
Banro's total Mineral Resource now 10.18 Moz Measured & Indicated and 7.01 Moz in Inferred
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Banro Increases Oxide and Free-milling Ounces of Gold by 45%10:12 EST Thursday, January 31, 2013TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2013) - Banro Corporation ("Banro" or the "Company") (TSX:BAA)(NYSE Amex:BAA)(NYSE MKT:BAA) is pleased to provide an update of its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates at its wholly-owned projects on the Twangiza-Namoya gold belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"). Exploration drilling during 2012 at the four core projects, Twangiza, Namoya, Lugushwa and Kamituga, has resulted in positive growth in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, particularly oxide and free-milling material, in line with the core strategy of the Company, whilst also ensuring the replacement of Mineral Reserves depleted thus far at the Twangiza Gold Mine. HighlightsBanro's Measured & Indicated (M&I) Mineral Resource has grown to 10.18 million ounces ("Moz") of gold, an increase of 41%, and the Inferred Mineral Resource has grown to 7.01Moz of gold, an increase of 56%. Banro's total oxide and free-milling Mineral Resource (both types of materials may be efficiently treated by heap leach and CIL methods) increased by 45%, representing 4.17Moz in the M&I category and 0.87Moz in the Inferred category. At Namoya, M&I Mineral Resources increased by 17.7% to 1.86Moz of gold, resulting in a 68.5% relative increase in the M&I Mineral Resource contained within the optimized pit to 1.50Moz. The Proven & Probable Mineral Reserve estimate for Twangiza, based on drilling and improved economic assumptions, increased by 36% to 1.54Moz At Lugushwa, the Indicated Mineral Resource consisting solely of oxide material is 0.73Moz. Lugushwa's Inferred Mineral Resource is now 4.88Moz, of which 0.40Moz consists of oxide material. "During 2012, the Company made significant progress with its exploration activities at its Twangiza, Namoya, Lugushwa and Kamituga project areas, increasing the Company's Mineral Resources, specifically oxide and free-milling material at Twangiza and Namoya, which have, or soon will have, established mining infrastructure. The increase in the overall Mineral Resources is substantial and underpins Banro's strategy to build value by adding new Resources and replacing the mined ounces," commented Dan Bansah, Banro's Vice President, Exploration. Banro's exploration update published on November 15, 2012, highlighted significant drill intersections at the properties. The exploration focused on shallow infill and extension drilling at Lugushwa, definition drilling at Namoya, delineation drilling of the east and west flanking structures at Twangiza, and exploration drilling at Kamituga. The encouraging results of the shallow infill drilling at Lugushwa facilitated the estimation of over 0.73 million ounces of high confidence Indicated oxide resources and an additional 0.40 million ounces of Inferred oxide material. This estimated oxide Resource will form the framework for Banro to undertake a preliminary economic assessment of Lugushwa's oxide material, which was rescheduled to incorporate the additional exploration data which could potentially enhance the economics of this project. In Namoya, while assessing the potential for additional Resources, definition drilling at Namoya was undertaken to improve geological confidence prior to the mine being brought into production in Q4 2013. In addition, the positive metallurgical studies of the free-milling primary material at Namoya has resulted in a 68.5% increase of the M&I Mineral Resource contained within the optimized pit (the "In-pit M&I Mineral Resources"), from 0.89 million ounces to 1.50 million ounces at a grade of 1.78 g/t Au for 26.20 million tonnes of material (the Measured component of this is 22.86 million tonnes at 1.86g/t Au and the Indicated component is 3.34 million tonnes at 1.26g/t Au). These Mineral Resources, and the potential beneath the pit (Figure 1), will be the catalyst for the Namoya Phase II expansion study due for completion in 2013. The encouraging results obtained from the delineation drilling of the east and west flanking structures at Twangiza, coupled with its improved economics, has allowed for the growth in Mineral Reserves and the replacement of ounces depleted since start-up. Exploration drilling at Kamituga has confirmed the potential of a number of targets including Kibukila, Filon 20 and G22. Infill drilling of these targets will be the core business objective for Kamituga during 2013. Banro's Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves disclosed in this press release are reported in accordance with National Instrument 43‐101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), which incorporates by reference the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resources reported in this press release are inclusive of the Mineral Reserves component.

Mineral Reserve included in Mineral Resource.Mineral Resource Banro's Measured & Indicated (M&I) Mineral Resource has grown to 10.18Moz, an increase of 41%, and Inferred Mineral Resources have grown to 7.01Moz, an increase of 56%, this taking into account depletion at the Twangiza Gold Mine. The growth in the Mineral Resource is attributed to some changes in economic assumptions, which resulted in only a 22% increase of the Mineral Resource, although the main increase was as a result of significant drilling intersections. The Resource estimate discussed in this press release consists of insitu Mineral Resources at a 0.4 g/t Au cut-off falling within a US$2,000 per ounce (2011: US$1,700 per ounce) optimized pit shell. The underground Mineral Resources at Kamituga are those situated below the Mobale open pit, estimated using historical underground information at a cut-off grade of 1.5 g/t Au. The Mineral Resource estimates for Kamituga were prepared by SRK (UK) using historical data and were included in the February 2005 NI 43-101 technical report prepared by SRK (UK) for Banro. These estimates have not been updated. Banro has since 2011 carried out extensive exploration including some amount of drilling to verify the historical results. This work will be continued during 2013 for an updated estimate for Kamituga to be undertaken by December 2013. The grade tonnage curve for the Namoya In-pit M&I Mineral Resources is illustrated in Figure 2, and demonstrates that the Namoya project can be mined at a significantly higher grade than the Resource grade without impacting significantly on the contained gold. This is based on the fact that if one increases the cut-off from 0.5g/t Au to 1.00g/t Au, grades increase from 2.04g/t Au to 2.79g/t Au, with contained gold reducing by only some 12% and could even be increased above 3.0g/t Au without compromising the mine life significantly. This indicates that high-grading the deposit is a feasible option and mine planning could focus on a higher grade, lower tonnage mine design in times of a falling metal market without destroying the economics of the project. The Namoya In-pit M&I Mineral Resources at the various cut-off grades are summarized in Table 3.Mineral Reserve The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve of Twangiza has increased by 36% from 1.13 Moz to 1.54 Moz. This 36% increase of 0.41 Moz, after mining depletion, is primarily a function of delineation drilling at Twangiza West, which resulted in increased confidence of estimated Mineral Resources, and changes in economic assumptions with improved costs from 2011 to 2012. The current open pit Mineral Reserve was estimated using a weighted average breakeven grade of 0.54 g/t Au at a gold price of US$1,500 per ounce (2011: US$1,200 per ounce). Margin dilution and ore loss were included into the estimation of Mineral Reserves. Twangiza stockpile Reserves were calculated at a cut-off grade of 0.75 g/t Au.

Drill cores for assaying were taken at a maximum of one metre intervals and were cut with a diamond saw with one-half of the core placed in sealed bags and sent to the Company's sample preparation facility in Bukavu, DRC. The core samples were then crushed down to minus 2 mm, and split with half of the sample pulverised down to 90% passing 75 microns. Approximately 150 grams of the pulverised sample was then shipped to the SGS Laboratory (which is independent of the Company) in Mwanza, Tanzania where the samples were analysed for gold by fire assay using a 50g charge. As part of the Company's QA/QC procedures, internationally recognised standards, duplicates and blanks were inserted into the sample batches. Drill core samples were respectively taken from Lugushwa, Namoya, Twangiza East and West to determine relative density measurements for the various deposits and the oxide, transitional and fresh rock components. The key assumptions used for the determination of the In-pit M&I Mineral Resources at Namoya are tabled below:Input DataUnitsGold priceUS$1,500 per ounceMining dilution5% at zero gradePay limit for high grade1.0 g/t AuStockpile ore0.4 g/t-1.0 g/t AuWaste<0.4 g/t AuMining recovery95%Pit slopesMinus 40 to 50 degreesMetallurgical recoveryOxides (88%), Transitional (84%), Fresh (80%)The Twangiza resource model was built by SRK and most recently published in a Banro press release dated March 4, 2011. Apart from the Twangiza East and West estimates, the current estimates employed the SRK model but with changes to the economic assumptions with the improved cost. For more details, refer to the technical report of Senet dated March 9, 2011 (as revised on March 24, 2011) and entitled "Economic Assessment NI 43-101 Technical Report, Twangiza Phase 1 Gold Project, South Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo", which has been filed on, and can be obtained from, SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.Qualified Persons Mr. Andrew N. Clay, Managing Director of Venmyn Deloitte (Pty) Ltd., is the "qualified person" (as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101) who is responsible for the Lugushwa Mineral Resource estimates disclosed in this press release. Mr. Clay has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.Banro Vice President, Exploration, Daniel K. Bansah, MSc (MinEx), who is a Chartered Professional Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM(CP)) and a "qualified person" (as such term is defined in National Instrument 43-101), is responsible for the Twangiza and Namoya Mineral Resource estimates and Twangiza Mineral Reserve estimates disclosed in this press release as well as the other technical information contained in this release (including with respect to Kamituga). Mr. Bansah has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.Banro Corporation is a Canadian gold mining company focused on production from the Twangiza oxide mine and development of three additional major, wholly-owned gold projects, each with mining licenses, along the 210 kilometre long Twangiza-Namoya gold belt in the South Kivu and Maniema provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Led by a proven management team with extensive gold and African experience, Banro's plans include the construction of its second gold mine at Namoya, at the south end of this gold belt, as well as the development of two other projects, Lugushwa and Kamituga, in the central portion of the belt. The initial focus of the Company is on oxides, which have a low capital intensity to develop but also attract a lower technical and financial risk to the Company and as such maximize the return on capital and limits the dilution to shareholders as the Company develops this prospective gold belt. All business activities are followed in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. Certain terms are used by the Company, such as "Measured", "Indicated", and "Inferred" "Resources", that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in the Company's Form 40-F Registration Statement, File No. 001-32399, which may be secured from the Company, or from the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. Cautionary Note Concerning Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates The Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve figures referred to in this press release are estimates and no assurances can be given that the indicated levels of gold will be produced. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates included in this press release are well established, by their nature Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates are imprecise and depend, to a certain extent, upon statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that Mineral Resources can be upgraded to Mineral Reserves through continued exploration.Due to the uncertainty that may be attached to Inferred Mineral Resources, it cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will be upgraded to an Indicated or Measured Mineral Resource as a result of continued exploration. Confidence in the estimate is insufficient to allow meaningful application of the technical and economic parameters to enable an evaluation of economic viability worthy of public disclosure (except in certain limited circumstances). Inferred Mineral Resources are excluded from estimates forming the basis of a feasibility study. Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements regarding Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, potential Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, estimates and/or assumptions in respect of future gold production, gold recoveries, costs and project economics, and the Company's exploration and development plans and objectives) are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, production estimates and estimated economic return; the possibility that actual circumstances will differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the economic studies of the Company's projects; failure to establish estimated mineral resources and mineral reserves (the Company's mineral resource and mineral reserve figures are estimates and no assurance can be given that the intended levels of gold will be produced); fluctuations in gold prices and currency exchange rates; inflation; gold recoveries being less than those indicated by the metallurgical testwork carried out to date (there can be no assurance that gold recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in large tests under on-site conditions or during production) or less than those expected following the expansion of the Twangiza plant; uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future; changes in equity markets; political developments in the DRC; lack of infrastructure; failure to procure or maintain, or delays in procuring or maintaining, permits and approvals; lack of availability at a reasonable cost or at all, of plants, equipment or labour; inability to attract and retain key management and personnel; changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities; the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other geological data; and the other risks disclosed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's annual information form dated March 26, 2012 filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.To view Figure 1, please visit http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/banrofigure1.pdf.To view Figure 2, please visit http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/banrofigure2.pdf.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Contact Information: Banro CorporationSimon VillagePresident & CEO+44 (0) 788 405 4012Banro CorporationNaomi NemethInvestor Relations+1 (416) 366-9189 or +1-800-714-7938, Ext. 2802Banro CorporationArnold T.

Best boot socks for runs and humps
04/23/15 | By Adam K.
The socks are very thick and fill out any dead space in your boot preventing your feet from sloshing around. That tight fit along with thorlo's material helps prevent blisters! The length of the sock easily comes up to the knees so your shins are well protected from any rubbing. These socks are the best kept secret.
Best socks for those long rucks
04/22/15 | By Mark S.
makes brand new boots feel like broken in boots
Not What The Picture Showed
04/10/15 | By Claudia J.
These are really, really heavy socks. I have been trying to find the socks I wore for 20 years in the Navy and 10 years after that. They were over the calf boot socks that didn't fall down. These are not the right ones. They may be great for combat but they don't serve my purposes at all.
Great for Military Boots that fit too loosely.
04/04/15 | By Matthew K.
All issues while working in boots are reduced while wearing these socks.
Best socks.....period!
04/02/15 | By Brandon B.

Soft, very comfortable in Patrol Boots
Great socks for my needs
03/04/15 | By Robert D.
I need the tall socks to avoid irritation from a brace I wear to keep my foot from dropping. These socks are comfortable, athin enough to not interfere with the brace, and warm enough (under boots) for winter wear.

It makes sense for rat-plugin to ignore binary files because they could be
encrypted or compressed or something else, and already have a license
header (false positives) or are simply impossible to add a header to
because they are machine generated.
If these files have licence headers somewhere in them, then I will withdraw
my concern over them. I felt that I performed due diligence by visually
