FairPoint Communications' Bangor office entrance is seen in this photo taken Monday, Oct. 26, 2009, the day the company announced its filing for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy. FairPoint owns and operates phone companies in 18 states, though its largest holdings are in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, where it bought Verizon Communications Inc.'s land lines and Internet network for $2.3 billion in 2008.
