| Time for some communities to stop waiting for FiOS Some communities should stop waiting for Verizon and take matters into their own hands if they want better telecommunications services. They could band together to create a non-profit corporation to install a fiber network throughout their region, or install a municipal fiber network. Take the money currently going to the town library, apply for federal/state grants, and implement usage fees to help pay for it. Once they have their network up and running, they could really kick Verizon in the balls by revoking or seizing their copper land usage rights for telephone poles by passing a law that allows such seizure or revocation in the case of service providers who don't update their services to modern standards. |
