By Lauren T. Taniguchi – On Thursday (Apr 12, 2012), Verizon New Jersey answered the state Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Show Cause Order pertaining to the company’s alleged failure to comply with its service commitments through the Opportunity New Jersey (ONJ) program.
“Verizon met its commitment, investing more than $13 billion — billions more than was contemplated by ONJ — equipping 100% of its central offices with broadband capability and building out infrastructure that Board Staff acknowledges enables Verizon to offer broadband service to customers in more than 99% of the census blocks in New Jersey,” wrote attorneys on behalf of Verizon New Jersey in the company’s answer to the BPU Show Cause Order.
“…That a tiny fraction of individual households in the State are not realistically reachable for broadband service does not mean that Verizon failed to fully deploy in the State,” the answer document goes on to state. more> http://tinyurl.com/cs4ryxz
