This is why monetary fines are a fundamentally wrong method of punishment. When breaking the law becomes a line item on a budget a company will do anything as long as it's profitable. Breaking the law always comes down to the personal choice of an individual or individuals and therefore the consequences should fall on those individuals. When Verizon chooses not to meet its legal obligations to build out fiber and maintain copper infrastructure, they shouldn't be scared of the FCC fining them. They should be scared of their board members being hauled into prison in orange jumpsuits.
