Everything landline in your area is going. The enterprise and wireless businesses are staying Verizon.

Subject: Verizon exiting California 

Verizon sent me a letter the other day stating that they are selling their landline business to Frontier 
Communications. It was a very terse letter and as a customer I don't know if it affects me. While stating they aren't 
exiting the Wireless business, I want to know which parts are being sold off. Just the copper lines, POTS, DSL, FIOS 
(TV, Internet, phone)? Some clarity would be great. I am a FIOS only customer. Can anyone recall if GTE was blocked 
from doing the same thing a few decades ago?
