This is only happening to charter because it was a clause written into their recent large merger with TWC. I don't think the state would have such broad latitude to revoke any other ISPs license to operate.
Verizon was at least smarter about being technically correct, they apparently ran fiber "past every household in the city". The joke probably being, good fucking luck getting your building hooked up to it. If they'd even do it, it'd probably cost you thousands
- bogomipz 8y agoSure I wasn't implying the state could do it buy NYC could pull Verizon's FIOS franchise agreement with the city in a similar fashion: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doitt/downloads/pdf/verizon_nyc_franchise_agreement_approved_by_fcrc.pdf https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doitt/downloads/pdf/verizon_nyc_...
- rayiner 8y agoIt blows my mind that people act like Verizon is running fiber past households then refusing to service them for funsies. Passing a household costs more than building the final bit of fiber to the house. It makes no sense for Verizon to pass a bunch of households then not try to recoup that money by hooking up service. The reason for the delay is because New York (particularly New York landlords) are a total nightmare to deal with.
