Verizon is meeting its goals to run its all-fiber telecommunications network throughout all five boroughs of New York, the company said in a news release Thursday. “This is the largest, most ambitious fiber-optic deployment in any U.S. city,” said Kevin Service, Verizon’s president for the Northeast area. “We have invested more than $3 billion in the city alone, making it one of the most ‘fiberized’ cities on the planet.” Verizon said it has installed almost 89 million feet, or nearly 17,000 miles, of fiber infrastructure in New York City. The buildout is on track with benchmarks set out in its cable franchise agreement with the city, Verizon said.
