Sorry, but NY PSC is at least quasi-independent. If you are not familiar with the NY PSC, and it sounds like you are not, you should not go around making casual statements impugning their integrity. I am familiar with them and I can say that they will most probably not reject the FIOS franchise agreement for NYC. | |

I am familiar with them and I can say that they will most probably not reject the FIOS franchise agreement. I'll stand by my comment. The 5 member PSC is appointed by the Governor and approved by the State Senate. They owe their jobs to politicians. You can call them quasi-independent, but they are political appointees with their future depending on politicians.
»www.dps.state.ny.us/pscinfo.html
Commission consists of up to five members, each appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate for a term of six years or to complete an unexpired term of a former Commissioner. The Chairman, designated by the Governor, is the chief executive officer of the Department.

| Re: Mayor automatic OK; PSC - who knows? 1) None of the current commissioners was appointed by the current governor. The previous two governors are out of politics.
2) Even so, the appointment does not dictate how they vote on franchise agreements. They have been consistent in their votes over the last two years and they have published their rationale wrt franchise agreements. Read those and you will have an indication of how they are likely to perceive the NYC franchise. Your "comment" is an uninformed political diatribe. Not everyone on a government agency sees things only in shades of red and blue. | |

I've spoken with them, the only thing they were concerned about was spoiled food credits, they said they don't regulate reliability of Con Ed's electric grid and the law doesn't provide any other remedies. | |

Richmond, VA | This is about a FiOS-TV franchise To be clear, 20% of the buildings in NYC are already wired for FiOS Internet. This haggling is only about FiOS-TV. | |

| Penalties {sarcasm}121 million in penalties is not enough for bringing in competition. It should be 121 quadrillion. That'll teach those dirty rats to dare to offer competition{end sarcasm}
Can you imagine if Starbucks had to get approval to open shops in NYC, and if they had to face fines for not canvassing the area fast enough? | |

| Re: Penalties Even better, each cup of coffee should come with additional $2 "franchise fee" and there'd be black-outs on creamer for local markets when cows are being milked. Cinnamon buns would need special licenses, so would not be served in certain parts of town  | |

Bronx, NY | NYC Fios deal almost finished. Let's hope this means faster deployment for both TV and Internet services. Verizon should be prepping a full-court press once the deal is finally done.
