As a Verizon worker in NYC, I can tell you there is no rush at all to roll out FIOS... no sense of urgency, no talk of what still needs to be done; hell, we run out of FIOS supplies all the time because they don't want to spend the money for stock. JIT becomes 'we will get to it eventually.' As far as the landlords, I guess there may be some looking for kickbacks but I have landlords, supers, & tennant association members come up to me all the time to complain that they contacted Verizon over a year ago to try and get FIOS to their buildings but are still waiting. I guess all it takes is to hire a good PR firm to make up some lies and your company doesn't really have to DO anything for their end of the bargain.
