More than likely Verizon needs a "physical location" rather than a "USPS mailing address"; even those who actually have a "deliverable street address" usually pick up their mail at boxes a few miles away. The "location" thing is probably derived from an FCC "rule" (which itself is probably a side-effect of some Homeland Security idiocy, since as we all know, any technology can also be used for terrorism).
Very likely the Fusion "antenna" includes a GPS receiver. (This isn't the tinfoil hat talking, I wasted a month of my summer arguing nearly identical issues with Sprint; some of their hardware has GPS, and will not activate unless it can lock to the satellites.)
Subtitles: cost-effective technology exists for Telcom to deploy DSL to "rural" areas, but they choose not to; instead, Telcom complains about "cord-cutters" impacting their bottom line. Seems to me if you want to make money, you should figure out how to make a profit selling products people want -- either there's no money in broadband, or Telcom isn't really profit-motivated, I can't tell which. Oceanic is still making money right?
