During the same period, Verizon approached the state legislature in an unsuccessful attempt to change the CATV licensing laws (207 CMR).
After the ice storm hit, Verizon indefinitely postponed all of the pending new FIOS builds. At the time, Verizon cited the high cost of connecting a home, versus the low rate of return the company would receive from that installation. In the fall of 2009, Verizon had already begun to slow its pace of FIOS installations. At that time, the Ayer Cable Advisory Committee (CAC) had been approached by Verizon representatives to begin discussions on a Cable TV franchise license. Those localities were Fitchburg (12,500 Comcast subscribers), and Ayer (3300 Comcast Subscribers). Many residents have asked why Ayer does not have a similar contract with Verizon Corporation, which introduced its FIOS broadband network In the summer of 2009, Verizon chose two localities in the North Central Middlesex County and Northern Worcester County areas to receive FIOS service.
