FairPoint filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday barely 18 months after buying Verizon Communications' land line and Internet assets in the three states.

A spokesman in Maine House Speaker Hannah Pingree's office says the meeting will take place Nov. 12 in Concord, N.H. He expects each state to send legislators and representatives from their attorneys general offices.

Representatives from FairPoint and from the company's unions, which represent nearly 3,000 employees, are also expected to attend.
