USDOT says Verizon 'not moving fast enough' on $2.4 billion FAA contract
Mar 11, 2025 2:11 PM

WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - U.S. Transportation

Secretary Sean Duffy said Verizon is "not moving fast enough" in

its $2.4 billion 15-year telecom contract with the Federal

Aviation Administration.

Duffy, who plans to ask Congress for tens of billions of

dollars to reform air traffic control, spoke after Elon Musk's

Starlink unit last week denied it wanted to take over the

Verizon FAA contract. "I want companies that want to move fast,

Duffy said at a press conference. "I can't wait 10 years... The

American people can't wait 10 years or 12 years to lay fiber."
