Verizon Sues Sprint Over Interconnection Charges
Much ado about nothing.
Long time reader first time poster. Anyway what I dont understand is if Sprint is outright refusing to pay a 10 million dollar bill why wouln't vzw simply shut off the taps first... then sue? I'm pretty sure the answer is that the moneys in question are simply a disputed part of a larger bill that sprint has been paying. It also seems evident from the title of the article that this dispute has been going on for some time.. Hence the phrase "ongoing squabble" So this is a contract dispute in the northeast... seemingly about who is responsible for the cost of certain tarriffs (pure speculation on my part).
Verizon, however, has a problem in that if this isn't settled in a certain time frame then they will outright lose the dispute. T...

Do you really think Verizon would breech their end of the agreement and cut Sprint off??
That wouldn't look too good on Verizon would it??

What you said makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
How would Verizon be breaching an agreement by shutting off service to Sprint if they aren't being paid for services rendered? Does any business operate that way? Would Verizon allow YOU access to their network if you didn't pay YOUR bill?
This fact alone proves that the charges are disputed amounts that are part of a larger bill and not simple payment for services rendered. No company will continue supplying ser...

First off, this post is based entirely on speculation and not based on even one item of fact. So it really makes it a moot posting. According to Verizon, Sprint has failed to even formally respond to the issue, so it doesn't sound like Sprint is "disputing" the charges. Has anyone seen any "offical" statement or rebuttal published by Sprint? Why is it so hard for some Sprint users to believe that a company that is losing millions of dollars ever quarter, and hundreds of thousands of customers, would be behind of paying it's bills? Is that such a HUGE leap?
As far as just cutting off their service, I'm sure that it's probably not as easy as just making a decision and flipping a switch. I would think that there would be some process they'd...

Yes, you're right. It was pure speculation. It would not be possible to know really anything about a multi million dollar lawsuit between two multi billion dollar companies based on a 50 word newsbrief.... Not sure how this makes my post more or less relevant than any other however. Certainly not so moot that you didn't feel the need to comment.
Second, the article does not say that sprint has not responded. A quote from Verizon's suit describes their attempts to collect the money as "fuitless" this is not necessarily the same thing. The article though does describe this as an "ongoing squabble" which I take to mean that their squabble (small argument, dispute) has been ongoing.
And last, the thing I love most about this is that ...
