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?
Karl,

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?

Yes. Just to be mean. Good insight.

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

which are a pittance after all the lucrative areas are cherry picked. and the 30 million? written off as a biz loss.
