Verizon is forced to fix 15,000 “double poles” and other network problems

Double poles occur when "Verizon has failed to move its equipment from an old pole that was replaced with a new one by another utility (e.g., the electric company)," the CWA said. "In many cases, these are dangerous conditions—poles are falling, leaning, rotting, partially cut off, etc." - Jon Brodkin, Ars Technica [via/web:http://streaming-tv.us]
