| Don't Confuse TV Franchise Agreement W/ Internet Deployment This is the second front-page news item within the past few months that refers to the TV Franchise agreement, and confuses it with deployment of FiOS fiber services in general. Why are the two issues so hard to separate? I understand that the TV Franchise Agreement talks include demands by some of the politicians that deployment of FiOS be done for the entire city, but can't we get our facts straight first, and read news articles that make sense of the situation?
"Broader NYC deployment remains bogged down in committee...", that sentence makes it seem that deployment of all FiOS services is dependent upon some political process - its not. FiOS is being rolled out in the 5 boros (I have it now in Brooklyn), and the politicians are NOT required for Verizon to light any more neighborhoods. What IS bogged down is the TV Franchise Agreement, and the politicians are dragging their asses.
