FairPoint Communications (FRCMQ.PK) has crunched its financial numbers again and wants the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB) to evaluate its Chapter 11 plan again.

Vermont's tough stance on FairPoint shouldn't be all that surprising. In 2009, the Vermont PSB actually considered revoking the telco's operating license.
But now Mike Smith, President of FairPoint Vermont, said it has presented new financial data that addresses the PSB's initial concerns.
