The article states that the bean counters are waiting for government to pony

But in a comment to the TechDirt report,

a Verizon spokesman said:
by Bob Varettoni
I am a spokesperson for Verizon. Just a few points: Verizon said it
would spend $23 billion for FiOS deployment through the end of this
year -- and we're meeting that commitment. That's about $22 billion
and change more than any other company in America will have actually
spent by the end of this year in bringing ultra-fast fiber-based
broadband directly to homes.
We have additional commitments to build out FiOS in certain
jurisdictions beyond 2010 that we will also meet. Our focus now is
on making our FiOS network available for sale -- and selling FiOS
services! -- to all the homes we have passed (there's still
additional work to be done after a home is passed -- to provide TV,
for example, we need a local franchise).
