Why? Honestly, this would just be moronic. There's no reason to want to bankrupt Verizon- there are plenty of reasons for the company to not be able to deploy on time, and not all of them are malicious.

Verizon would never sign that deal, and then NONE of NYC would be able to get the FiOS TV service, and the internet deployments underway would probably be halted- is that somehow better?

Is it somehow better? -- YES!!!
(the millions part anyway--the BILLIONS part is just to show what it would really take to TRULY be an incentive to deploy ON TIME.) As metioned earlier, EVERY single 'penalty' in the MILLIONS is just chump change to Verizon. I hope you noticed that the values are reversed from the original--the incentive to hurry it up should be greater the longer it takes, not smaller, if it's results you're after.

Feeling bad for the victims of NYC corruption.
