After lengthy, closed door negotiations between Mayor Bloomberg and Verizon, the city today announced they've agreed to Verizon's citywide franchise plan. The agreement obviously gives Verizon the green light to offer FiOSTV to NYC residents, while the city gets 5% of revenues -- (a line item bill fee you'll pay, not Verizon). Verizon is promising they'll deliver FiOS to every home in the city by 2014:Juan Gonzalez of the Daily News has been doing a good job tracking the particulars of the agreement. He notes that while there's deployment milestones in place, they can easily be extended should Verizon not see the kind of subscriber uptake they're looking for. Given Verizon's skill at wiggling out of fiber coverage requirements, you should take any promises with a massive grain of NaCl. Verizon is also proposing a $200 early termination fee, and Gonzalez suggests that Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens residents shouldn't get too excited just yet:Given these meetings were conducted between Verizon and NYC in private, there hasn't been a shred of real public debate over the agreement, which now needs approval from the city's Franchise and Concession Review Committee and the New York Public Service Commission.
