Verizon is building its all-fiber, high-speed network throughout many suburbs—but it’s leaving urban and rural areas behind
To date, Verizon has refused to deploy its FiOS network in a number of large—and medium-sized—cities in its landline footprint, including Boston, Baltimore, Buffalo, Albany, and Syracuse, among others and has made it clear that it has no intention of further investments in FiOS in these or rural areas. People of color and lower-income households will be disproportionately affected. Given the critical importance of high-speed Internet to economic development, job creation, improvements in education, health care, energy conservation, and public safety, these communities must not be left on the wrong side of the digital divide.
