Nashville, TN | What threat? "The threat to pull FiOS isn't new..."
"Santoro said Verizon is still committed to building its FIOS fiber-optic broadband service in Massachusetts, but that other big-ticket network upgrades might be shelved if its property tax bill increases."
I don't see where there's any threat to scale back FIOS deployment here. Maybe it's somewhere in the fine print or buried in one of those links, but it would be nice if the news department here didn't contradict their own assertions, apparently without even realizing they've done so. |

The Verizon spokesman said (quoting the article) "Santoro said Verizon is still committed to building its FIOS fiber-optic broadband service in Massachusetts". How is that a threat to FIOS deployment? The threat would be the speed that it takes. Technically they could light up one community in the year and still say they are building it out. They can slow the pace considerably.

Nashville, TN | There WAS no threat to FIOS deployment in that statement.
I see the headline has now been changed to reflect that. Less sensationalistic, but much more accurate. |
