I don't know any more about that particular deal, but I can tell you that NYNEX is NOT one of the major non-Bell telcos like GTE; rather, it is one of the 7 RBOCs spun off from AT&T during the breakup. Its regional subsidiaries are New York Telephone (which serves most of New York state and a little bit of Connecticut, I believe) and New England Telephone (which serves almost all areas in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island). New York and New England -- hence the name "NYNEX".
