I think the public interest, convenience, and necessity reuqies that I
provide a satirical "Telecom Digest" translation guide so that readers
can more easily undertand Verizon's "Monopoly Bureaucratese."
What they said:
*-----> This information is used only by Verizon; <-----*
What it means:
*-----> We have a tight lock on your private date, and we make sure
nobody else will ever find out what we know about you, so
thay'll NEVER have enough info about you to offer you a better
choice than remaining in our dungeon. <-----*
What they said:
*-----> we do not sell this information to others for them to use for
their own advertising. <-----*
What it means:
*-----> We'll sell everything we know about you to anyone who is
willing to pay Verizon to steer you away from their
competitor's offers. <-----*

***** Moderator's Note *****
We've had a thread about attachments and rights-of-way rcently, and I
just came across the public notice shown below. I think it'll be good
to have a discussion about the mechanics of creating and/or modifying
such, so I invite readers to read and comment on the process, both as
to the specifics this notice mentions, and in general.
