All true; I concur..

Err.. Sort of. First off, note that Verizontal is a name, not a company.
There are 20-odd companies, one per state (and 2 in some..). Further,
it's the mixture of NoNuts (Northeast, inc. NYS, Maine, etc.) Hell
Atlantic (DC, VA, etc) and Gee, No, GTE {Lots of places...}
Each had its own policies/tariffs. modified state by state.
The resulting guessing game always has hurt ISDN..

Amen..
And... REAL supervision.
