For those who want government heavy-handedness to be intertwined with broadband connectivity, I submit that the mess in NYC regarding FIOS is the ultimate result of this meddling. The government of NYC has succeeded in its effort to ensure an equal level of service to everyone, even if that level of service is 0.

Better the level of service be ZERO than it be unfair. Isn't that the american way? Better 1000 crooks go free than 1 innocent man convicted. That's why the scales of justice are not even.
Granted, that's not the real reason. The real reason is corrupt politicians, but the end result is the same. Force verizon to live up a standard, or don't let them roll it out at all. Remember what they did to the state of PA, where they got tax breaks of billions and billions, and failed to deliver. Why should NYC cave into the profit motives of Verizon.
Verizon is NOT BEING STOPPED from offering FIOS. They ARE being stopped from offering TV over FIOS until they come up with a 'fair and balanced' plan to roll it out to EVERYONE in the city (ironic I can quote FOX on that).

Jamaica, NY | Verizon should do like ATT, set up an IPTV subsidiary and set up an exclusive bandwidth agreement, then go running around with the case law that ATT has made for Uverse. |
