Verizon trying to appease Vermonters
posted by Joe on November 20th, 2007 - 11:00 am | Verizon Wireless
As we’ve mentioned, Verizon’s purchase of Unicel isn’t going over too well up in Vermont. Senator Bernie Sanders has been the most vocal, demanding that Verizon provide coverage throughout the state if they’re allowed to be the only carrier. So, in a seeming response, Verizon has announced that they will turn on 12 new cell towers in Bennington County by the end of the year.
Of course, the timing might just be coincidence. Or it could be an initial reaction to the Sanders outrage. Who knows?
This will allow Verizon to provide “continuous digital cell service from Rutland County to Massachusetts.” There are still plenty of areas in the state that receive poor service. We’re sure Senator Sanders will continue to be vocal about the issue until Verizon has covered an adequate portion of the state.
