Verizon selling off phone lines [telecom]

There was an article that Verizon is selling off some of its landline territories to Frontier. (Unfortunately I lost the URL). From the states mentioned, these appear to be those it acquired when it bought GTE.

I always wondered why Verizon bought out GTE in the first place.

I'm going to see where those areas are, and apply to Frontier: I guess everybody moves South or West, sooner or later, and it's getting really hard to be a sole proprietor.

I don't know why Verizon bought GTE: maybe they needed the Strowger pattents. ;-)
