Verizon, one of the largest telecommunications operators in the United States, received a subpoena from the New York City court. The reason is that New York City believes that Verizon did not complete the contract in 2008.

In 2008, the two sides signed a contract to "let everyone in New York City (about 3.1 million people) use fiber optic FiOS services before 2014". But so far, Verizon has only provided optical access to 2.2 million households.

Verizon did not expect to make a counterargument: the Blasio government is not sincerely trying to rewrite the terms of the agreement signed by its predecessor for its own political interests. ". He claimed that he had already fulfilled the contract of "providing fiber optic network for every family in the city", instead of providing it to everyone in every house and apartment.
