When I said take advantage of Title II i was referring more to the massive amounts of money solicited from state governments supposedly for telephone infrastructure upgrades or large network buildouts, as well as rights to government property under Title II.[1][2]

from the article:

>every fiber optic wire appears to be Title II." That includes fiber lines used to deliver home Internet service and the fiber lines that feed into Verizon Wireless' cell towers,

>Verizon provides Title II-regulated phone service over both copper and fiber, but the fiber network also supports FiOS Internet, TV, and the largely unregulated Digital Voice service. Despite its claims about Title II harming broadband providers, Verizon used its common carrier status to gain perks that helped build the fiber network.

You can't say capital investment is harder under Title II, then use your Title II branch of your company to gain investment for buildouts of your non-Title II business. That is directly hypocritical. If it were true, you would be seeing their fiber rollout financed without the guise of their Title II upgrades, by private investment rather than public.
