| It's about population density/passings and ease of deployment. If it costs x-dollars to deploy 1 mile of fiber and you only pass 100 customers you make less than if you pass 10,000.
Very simple. . .NYC has great population density and better than average access to underground plant. NYC has good underground infrastructure, you can reach utility lines without too much dig work. Many large cities do not have that access and construction costs are incredible.
Cheap to deploy and more passings per mile than most other cities. You bet Verizon wants that! It's going to be worth crazy money. |
