Verizon is currently wiring up New York City with fiber optic cables, but Boston mayor Thomas Menino wants to know why FiOS isn’t coming to his city anytime soon. Menino has a theory, one that he recently aired during a radio interview: Verizon is retaliating. “They insinuated that we weren’t going to get it because of my position on telecommunications,” he said.
Menino’s “position on telecommunications” is that Verizon should pay more money. Specifically, Menino has been trying to change state law so that Verizon has to pay taxes on more of its network equipment that sits on public property.
