Because it wouldn't accomplish much. Verizon has been on a bandwidth buying spree and it is speculated that they are gearing up to sell off their 700MHz band, and the obligations that come with it.
So, legal action at this point would accomplish little more than rack up legal bills while Verizon stalls long enough to make the point moot.
This comment makes no sense at all. They would never throw away their lte network they JUST finished building over the past 3 years. They are just starting to roll out their 2nd layer of lte on their aws spectrum.

Whoa! No one said anything about throwing away their LTE network.
They are probably going to have to update that network in a few years anyway, particularly as VoLTE picks up. Keep in mind I'm not talking about them ditching it overnight, but rather over several years as lawsuits drag out.

Now, based on what they've said publicly, their plan is to keep the 700MHz spectrum, and use it for coverage, and then use the AWS spectrums for handling densely populated areas.
But rumour has it they've been considering the possibility of a broader divestment, which is partly why they are picking up spectrum all over the place.
