You forgot one thing....

while the "hey wow I can actually use my connection" tier -- to be launched at the end of this year -- won't be well marketed and will likely cost a pretty penny.
Then, when users don't flock to the poorly advertised, pricey service, Verizon will declare that the lack of subscribers is proof that people don't want open access. Thus, they will "encourage" the FCC to drop the open access requirement so that the Open Access tier could be canceled.

Rockville, MD		 that's not 1st step; first step is to pretty much ignore the spirit of the conditions and see if they get yelled at.

if they get yelled at, then they do what you say.
