Fairpoint answers charges it faked data

FairPoint Communications is denying a whistleblower's allegations that it faked a demonstration of its readiness last year. Regulators in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine received anonymous e-mail from
someone claiming to have inside information about the company who said FairPoint used a computer simulation to trick a consultant into believing its systems were ready. The company announced yesterday its own investigation turned up no evidence of such fraud.
