Speaking as a Brooklynite who just got a fiber install date after three years of requests, no. Verizon is flat-up lying. They're not even close.

I believe the concept in the article is exactly that, Verizon is attempting to get out of responsibilities defined in a city contract by arguing over the definition of the word "pass".

"The term 'pass' is not defined in the Agreement," Verizon told the city at the time. "General dictionary definitions of the term refer to going by, past, beyond, or through a place (such as a building), and include no requirement as to how close a place must be approached in order to constitute a 'passage.' Thus, there is nothing inherent in the word itself that would require Verizon to run cable directly in front of every building in the City in order to 'pass' those buildings."
