• Hilltowns push back on Verizon landline phase-out (gazettenet.com) — Chesterfield’s town fax line, used for sensitive documents and ballots, may be jeopardized by Verizon’s plan to phase out copper landlines, and officials say it has already failed once. Nearby hilltown residents and boards are voicing strong concerns that the shift to fiber or wireless could leave seniors and rural homes without reliable, affordable phone and internet service, especially during storms and power outages.
