That first link is pretty useless since it never mentions what the terms VZ failed to meet actually are. I would imagine it's most likely something about coverage. That they aren't going to let VZ get a franchise that allows them to only offer service to only the most profitable few. Which seems in the public interest. How much would "jpl" be complaining if the actual deployment meant his street wasn't worth covering even though the high-rise apartments down the block were?
