Verizon Hasn’t Moved Fast Enough on FAA Upgrade, Duffy Says

-- Verizon Communications Inc. needs to pick up the pace on upgrades to the Federal Aviation Administration’s telecommunications network if it wants to hang on to its $2.4 billion contract, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. “If I’m looking back, they’re not moving fast enough,” Duffy said at a press briefing in Washington on Tuesday. “I need companies that are going to move fast.” While Verizon is still “in play” for the contract, “how we move forward is a question we’re going to grapple with,” Duffy said. “The American people can’t wait 10 years or 12 years to lay fiber,” Duffy said on Tuesday.
