History
Northern New England Telephone Operations was created as a subsidiary of Verizon New England named Northern New England Telephone Operations, Inc. to operate exchanges that Verizon was preparing to sell to FairPoint Communications in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
Sale to FairPoint
In 2008, the company was transferred to Northern New England Spinco, which was in turn acquired by FairPoint and merged into FairPoint, with all Northern New England Spinco subsidiaries becoming direct holdings of FairPoint[1].
Following the sale, Northern New England Telephone Operations was converted to a limited liability company. The company's operations in Vermont were separated into Telephone Operating Company of Vermont, which is wholly owned by NNETO.
NNETO has no connection to Northern Telephone Company of Maine, which consists of some former Contel lines sold off by GTE to FairPoint in 1994.
The company does business as FairPoint Communications - NNE[2].
