Sorry Dave, cable sucks and charges way too much with monthly rate increases. VOIP is just "not ready for prime time". I'll take DirecTV, PTSN and DSL. They work, are relatively trouble free and are cheaper. |

Lets see, Atleast some oen is sticking up to Verizon. Im glad. Hey if Verizon doesn't wanna deploy FiOS, Theres always someone that will. I personally don't like New Jersey, but hell, Theres more Telcos in the US, They can kick Verizons ass out, and then have SBC come in or someone else. |

I'd trust competitive forces here. Verizon knows that the residential market is highly competitive -- and price constrained. I say get off their back. FiOS is important.

|  OK as long as the same rules apply to all
I'm OK with a change to the franchise laws under a couple of caveats:
The same laws apply to all: cable companies, wireless, telcos.
The new law doesn't allow cherry picking only parts of towns.
A part of the law abolishes all the special fees(except the ONE franchise fee) that a company tries to apply. No more telco 37 varieties of add on fees.

| Too many fiefdoms anyway
NJ has 567 municipalities. It's insane the waste and duplication of services that goes on here. I don't blame Verizon for trying this approach at all. From a business perspective they would be crazy not to try it.

new to this
| obvious dichotomy
can someone please xplain why cablcos can offer dial tone without regulation but telcos have to be regulated for the sale of televison? i see cablecos offering the telcos main base product without any regulation whatsoever...and when the telcos try to compete by offering the cablecos main product they are met with regulation. it seems a dichotomy exists between the major players where only one can offer the others services unimpeded and the other is seemingly unfairly singled out for regulation. discuss please, i look forward to hearing your responses. thank you yes i use cable for my high speed internet, but i would use neither for television cause the choices of viewing material are crap. everybody loves raymond? bullshit. |

| just offer video =D
if its a data service just claim the TV is a data service too and not a CATV service. i bet that method could sidestep the stupidly dumb franchise(Monopoly enforcement) laws.

How, how effective they might be is another question....

| Verizon?
I live in Madison NJ. Verizon will not pull new copper down my street therefore normal ADSL palin doesn't work.
In the next Town Chatham Townsip the trunk line comes from Summit and the distance is so far that Verizon offer only a trickle speed well below broadband.
Now IF Verizon is such a great company why haven't they bothered offering even a decent ADSL service to so many people? I have NO trust of Verizon at all. I also know the PUB of NJ isn't stella either. The 2 deserve themselves. Meantime I went to Cable Internet some years ago. |
