Re: NYC Owned buildings not wired for Fios

A "true visionary" understands that without profit, there is no employment growth, no opportunity for the little guy, and accordingly, no expansion of the tax base.

There is no data to support your belief that "tremendous gains" come with fiber deployment. Online economic expansion occurs almost exclusively on the server side, and savvy coders generally don't need extremely high speed connections to prove their concepts.

Paying double for Fios so you can watch Netflix in "SuperHD" does not constitute a "gain".

Hi !! The corporate shill himself. I would take your comment seriously if you were a resident on NYC. You're not. You have no idea what a terrible mayor he was.

Didn't say he was a great mayor, but in a looney left city, having someone who bothers to do math is the least we can ask for. Considering how much federal subsidy NYC sucks down, those of us in the funding states need concern ourselves with who is minding the store there.

Blasio will prove infinitely worse.

What? Where do you get that from? NY State pays more to the fed than we receive -- We are a funding State. Furthermore, NYC pays far more than it's share to the state as well. You have it exactly backwards!
