I don't have a source for this, but I'm pretty sure the state gave Verizon
many millions of dollars in the early 00s to fund their FTTP project. It
wasn't completely paid for by us, but we did contribute.

Besides, FiOS runs on public telephone poles, and underneath public roads.
That is a resource we have given use of to Verizon.
