I've already done quite a bit of reading there lately.
All of that is fine, if all you want is Verizon Online/MSN. But, ...
The current scenario excludes any competition from non-Verizon ISP's, is 30% more expensive than the current Verizon Online DSL package and precludes running servers of any kind (they block inbound port 80 and port 25). I've been running my own mail and web servers for years. Because I can host my own domain I have nearly 3GB of data available on my web server. I think Verizon will give me 10MB. And my spam blocking is more effective than anything Verizon can offer. All of that goes out the window with Verizon FIOS.
Plus I like to support local businesses. I'm willing to pay a premium to not have my support calls go to India.
