Re: 679 million dollar contract Actually it's only been mentioned twice for scale, and I can use another metric if you'd like.
The amount made on just fees in the last month by the company nationally? |

This is a slippery slope. Every company that tries to do business should have prior deals held against them?
What does it have to do with NYC? |

| The scale of the penalties are even not remotely in line with the company's overall revenues. Verizon spends $4 million per quarter on lobbying alone. Those penalties are a gift. |

In your opinion. But I guess we are at a time where we look to heavily penalize companies for trying to do business. A 121 million dollar penalty is a 121 million dollar penalty. If they lost that big deal, should the penalties go down? |

And they shouldn't be. The company does business in many states and that state should be the gauge not the nation. |
