How Many Material Facts are Missing from the Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania 5-year Broadband Plan?

MA Plan DOES NOT MENTION VERIZON; The NJ plan once.

  • How many times is Verizon MA mentioned?
  • AI-IRREG: I have searched the document and found that Verizon Massachusetts is not mentioned in the Massachusetts Broadband BEAD Initial Proposal Volume I & II.
  • How many times is Verizon NJ mentioned?
  • AI-IRREG: Verizon NJ is mentioned once in the provided document in this PDF file,

Our Conclusion — Our filings are based on 30 years of research and advocacy into fiber optic broadband deployment and the creation of the Digital Divide. Our current comments and  filings detail how All of these states broadband offices have created 5-year plans that are supposed to solve the Digital Divide but left out basic, material facts, creating distorted and even harmful public policies.

AI Summarized State: The AI program’s comparisons show:

AI-IRREGULATORS AI program. The IRREGULATORS filed comments in all 4 states based on our research. Then,  exclusively using cutting edge AI tools by the AI-IRREGULATORS program, we compared these comments, as well as our book “DISS-CONNECTED”,  with the state plans. And what we found, reflected in the chart above, is striking. Not one state even mentions Verizon, the decades of history or the billions collected in the name of fiber optic upgrades– that never occurred or worse the documented manipulation of the accounting or the wireless bait and switch.

BACKGROUND

During the pandemic, America woke up and realized America had a dirt road instead of a fiber optic future –and the harms were in the more rural and low-income areas.  So instead of investigating the basic facts– they decided to give out over 42 billion in state broadband grants — and each state prepared the initial proposal to get the state findings.

There is now a form of ‘institutional amnesia’, America was supposed to have a fiber optic future, and in each of these states, we’ve been filing comments, complaints and even help bring fiber optic networks to towns in new jersey and New York.

4 State Model: MA, NY, NJ and PA

Over the last 2 months, the IRREGULATORS have filed comments in 4 states covering a large swath of the East Coast from Massachusetts and New York, to New Jersey and Pennsylvania,  all controlled by Verizon as the largest state-based telecommunications public utilities, — as well as Michigan and California (for broadband and carrier of last resort issues, or our work that was submitted in other states, such as Maryland.)

Thirty years of tracking the fiber optic deployments and the financial cross-subsidies of wireless.  In each state we have filed comments and complaints since 2000 and have helped some cities and towns get upgraded to fiber optic networks (See details for each state.)
