Verizon's corporate structure is rather complicated - I am familiar with
the DSL side, but I assume FIOS is similar.
-The local loop is owned by Verizon (the telco)
-The DSL equipment is owned by VADI (Verizon Advanced Data, Inc), who
leases access to the local loop from Verizon.
-VADI then provides the DSL circuit to Verizon online (the retail ISP), who adds
internet access, email, support, etc.
Thats at least 3 seperate companies billing each other all within Verizon, just to
give you a $17 dsl connection.
