(FairPoint) and Verizon New England Inc., NYNEX Long Distance Company, Bell Atlantic Communications, Inc., Verizon Select Services Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., and Northern New England Spinco Inc. (collectively, Verizon) in the above-captioned proceeding.1 ITTA is an alliance of mid-size telephone companies, including FairPoint. ITTA members provide a broad range of high-quality wireline and wireless voice, data, Internet, and video services to over 13 million customers in 43 states. They are independent telephone companies operating as incumbent local exchange carriers (ILECs) and, in many areas, as competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), as well. ITTA member companies have participated in a number of transactions very similar to the one proposed here, in which FairPoint would acquire certain local exchange assets and customer relationships from subsidiaries of Verizon. For example, CenturyTel, Inc. affiliates have completed many such deals.
