Verizon gears up for FiOS rollout in 27,000 Aimco apartments

It's incredibly obvious that one of Verizon's main opportunities for growth in FiOS TV is locking down contracts with housing facilities and apartment complexes, and while we've seen some small to medium-scale rollouts before, this one takes things to a whole 'nother level. Last year, the provider inked a deal with Aimco that would eventually bring fiber-based FiOS services to residents of some 27,000 apartments in 11 states across the nation. Now, 100 Aimco properties from coast to coast will be lit up with FiOS TV / internet / digital voice services prior to the onset of 2009, and that should make for quite a few happy tenants this holiday season.

I don't understand how Verizon gets the fiber to apartment complexes all over the country if they are not already in the area. I would think it's very expensive to do these remote installations.

uum.. the FIOS install for Stuyvesant town was 11000+ apartments in one shot.. Sure they're all in one spot, but that certainly counts as large in my book.
