Depending on how entrenched Verizon already is with their deployment and implementation of FiOS service in these DC areas, they would probably rather just sell off the DC market and move along, except for that pesky commitment they agreed upon. 
More often than not, Verizon had the luxury of bringing FiOS into an area, while possessing a clearly superior product. This advantage is largely missing in areas where cable already has widespread, competitive infrastructure in place. Comcast knows exactly where to put forth the resources in this fight, as Verizon has tipped their hat hand in the public pursuit to allow deployment in such cities as Philadelphia and the District of Columbia.
It's nice to see a couple of giants duke it out, as they are less likely to squash the little people while they struggle in each other's grasp, at least for a short time.
Edit: Corrected general silliness. |

Tipped their hand. As in prematurely showing their cards... |
