Instead of long term growth and stability, they want next day profits and roller coaster prices.

| FIOS should get love
My parents recently got FIOS and I was blown away by the speed. But what really threw me for a loop was that they were paying less than I was paying to Comcast for less than half the speed. Too bad FIOS will never arrive in my area.

VZ isnt buying ATT, if anything ATT will buy VZ, and ATT never spends capitol. ATT buys VZ end of fios and investors will love fios ending and being fed fruity IPTV lines. |

Re: Stupid investors....
You my friend need to reed the book THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR! That is not in fact how the rich get richer on a broad scale.
The rich get richer because they have a long term vision and have the ability to deny themselves immediate gratification for a long term return.

| Gotta give them props
I agree that they should be given props for sticking their head out there and doing something different. The amazing thing is that while Cable & old Telephone companies are working with outdated equipment spending so much that bring it up to par with Verizon's fiber (that's laughable) when it comes down to it they can't compete.
Lets take OptOnline in NY for example:
If OptOnline wants to raise their speeds to compete they have to consider how the increase will affect their network. They mainly have to figure out how to squeeze the last bit of throughput out of those coaxial cables.
Verizon on the other hand has so much room to work. They are not even touching the total capacity.
More importantly with the increase of all this fiber being laid, other companies will start to come around. AT&T and the rest will see a major deficiency (hopefully soon) and start the same thing.
I predict a massive reduction in the cost of bandwidth in the next few years. Ten years down the road and Fiber will be everywhere. That will be a good day |
