Subject: Nine Upstate NY Mayors Accuse Verizon of avoiding Urban
Poor In Fiber Upgrades
Virtually every mayor in the urban centers of upstate New York is
accusing Verizon Communications of redlining poor and minority
communities when deciding where to provide its fiber-to-the-home
service, [which is marketed as] "FiOS."
