The IBEW System Council T6 telephone locals in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and IBEW Local 827 representing Verizon workers in New Jersey has filed a position paper and comments with the Federal Communications Commission on Verizon’s recent ventures with the cable companies to purchase wireless spectrum licenses. The IBEW T6 & IBEW Local 827 does not believe that this transaction is in the public’s best interest. The unions have urged the FCC to evaluate whether this deal negatively affects the Verizon workers and the communities throughout the region currently served by Verizon. The unions believe this will create a disincentive to build FiOS telecom services across the region and also allows Verizon to continue to abandon the core copper networks. In addition, the unions believe that this deal raises significant concerns in regards to a potential collusive relationship between Verizon and the cable companies.
