So, for three years I have been actively researching and attempting to develop an Internet Service Provider for my local community, which is currently an unserved market. Recently, Frontier Communications bought out Verizon (who I had been negotiating with, but have not signed a contract with) and now everything is up in the air.

Three years of work, a few thousand dollars and an incalculable amount of strees... All for naught, so it seems. I guess it's time for me to redo my resume and cover letter, because it looks like I'm going to apply for a job with them, as opposed to, competiting with them. Unfortunately, I have yet to talk with a representative from their company (other than customer service reps over the phone), so I cannot say for sure until after July 1st. Fun times, eh?

I don't if it's just me, but do you ever get the urge to bang your head off a cinder block until you lose consciousness? LOL. After all these headaches over the last few weeks imparticular, I almost want to...

On the inverse side, I didn't sign any contracts yet, so that's going to save me thousands of dollars; and, I didn't start filing papers with the state yet, so that's saving me about $5,000. So, the bright side is, I found out sooner than later... But, now it's back to programming and web design, as opposed to, working on my true passion: providing highspeed Internet to my local community.

But, as they say, Life goes on...
