I think they are selling parts of their telco business to Frontier.
Union issues have a lot to do with the problems.

the company Verizon sold it to has a reputation of bad customer service,
and the Verizon customer base they bought is 150% larger than their
current customer base. Think of a minnow eating a shark in one gulp.
The sticking point to the deal is the customer service, last I heard.
I'm off to Pycon!

Or they just might buy out verizon out of their fiber. Verizon sure

Hi all,
This sounds interesting. However, to my knowledge Fort Wayne does
not
own much infrastructure that could be used for this. (I have only
lived
in FW a year and a half so could be wrong). They don't have electric
utilities like some municipalities nor cable TV. I don't know if the
traffic signals are connected via fiber.
I'm sure google would want fiber in place or if not in place, then
at
least poles or conduit where fiber could be installed at a minimal
cost.
Is there any chance that the city of Fort Wayne has that?
