For all we know the contract says the FAA is responsible to notify Verizon if the line becomes dead. We don't know what the agreement is.

Agree. The only time a company does something in the public interest is when it believes doing so would ultimately benefit the shareholders. Everything is a business decision.

I would love if it was transmitted to the bank for my own use so I can easily remember what I purchased or run budgeting software against it! Obviously wouldn't be excited about it being resold tho.

Isn't this exactly why there is a sandbox? What can the RCE actually do or obtain within the sandbox?
