Verizon FiOS TV contractions

As engadgetHD says, it’s quite odd to hear Verizon is basically outsourcing their FIOS installations in a large number of areas.  Perhaps this is for antitrust protections?  Or, is this just outsourcing at it’s finest and is simply a way to cut costs?

 

This is uh….odd. We’ve gotten so used to FiOS TV
creeping into new areas that we’ve had to create a weekly roundup just
to keep track, but today the company announced it is pulling out of
rural areas in 14 states, turning over operations to Frontier
Communications.
