Verizon eached a deal with state regulators to expand its high-speed internet services in New York and repair its existing telephone infrastructure. The agreement with the state Public Service Commission means Verizon expects to make its high-speed broadband network available to an additional 47,000 households across the state starting in 2018. The deal requires Verizon to expand fiber and hybrid fiber-copper networks to parts of upstate, the Hudson Valley and Long Island.
