Will Verizon's FiOS Deployment Freeze Ever Thaw? - Many Cities Still Waiting On Next FiOS Deployment Phase | DSLReports.com, ISP Information:
"Keep in mind there is limited to no competition in many of these markets, and Verizon over the years has lobbied to pass more than a dozen state level bans that prevent cities from wiring themselves.
Verizon knows if a city asks too much in Verizon's opinion (like say, Verizon actually paying property taxes like everybody else) Verizon can pull the plug knowing nobody else will deliver such speeds.
That's a pretty potent negotiating position and, as the only major telco with the guts to re-invest this kind of money back into the network, it was earned."
