said by Subaru  :They really need to start working on Apartment work I agree. Earlier this year VZ told me they won't enter the City before 2007 (I know they have few points in SI but that isn't really City  ). |

Re: Presentation Slides
Cool link.
Right now, the fiber is up on the "main" roads on my side of town. From what I'm told we're looking at Mid 2007 for deployment.
I would love to have that 20/5 package for 45/mo. That just kicks butt...

I just came from a New Installed FIOS household back to DSL which is also Verizon, I loose sync in a week maybe about 25 times.
I never lost it with Fios.
Most of the wires here are as old as this building from 1951.

| What About the After 2010 and the Secondary Markets
They talk about penetration through 2010, but what about afterwards. Are they going to slow down. Are they going to go as hard and fast. Or do they consider those areas not already served not worth the investment
Was there any talk about selling there smaller markets. Specifically anything in Ohio. |

But it also doesn't mean that the landlord has to let Verizon run Fios to HIS building either. There are no laws, like with Sat dishes, that forces an apartment building owner to allow tenants to wire up to Fios. If he has a deal with Cablevision, he can exclude Verizon Fios.

Glen Burnie, MD | Churn rate is interesting....
.......as is the migration from cable rate (10%.)
Seems people are willing to step out of the abyss and try something else besides the cable companies. |

Not unless Verizon Throws Cash at him which I could see them doing and NOT Cablevision.
IMHO I think all ISP's are a bit Shock that Verizon is going to do this and stick with it..
it's not a small amount...

Re: Are you listining Cablevision?
I had to drop CV, which was nearly flawless for me for 7 years, to get FIOS. It was only because of price.
FIOS is $15 / month cheaper and it works just as well (after several months). |

If it makes his property more valuable to rent I'd think a landlord would want Fios... great for marketing. If I had to rent an apartment I'd go for the one with Fios over cable any day even if it wasn't as nice. The landlord could charge a premium too if he was the first on the block to get it.
And from Verizon's standpoint it's a no-brainer... high density opportunity for deployment.
win-win all the way around. |

| Wish them well
I hated Verizon with a passion moons ago, but I do hope this comes out well for them. It will inevitable force MSOs to match the offering or seek alternate incentives to stay alive.
Personally, I'm glad they're hitting this strong. Cablevision needs to be pulled out of it's misery.
I can't get FIOS where I live, but as long as the trusty 3/768 DSL circuit from Verizon remains as flawless as it's been, I'm happy. |

I agree and the Verizon DSL techs that come here I can tell don't like messing with the Copper here... It's a wire mess in the Box that splits all the apartments to a building.

Re: IMHO
pfft, what are you talking about, old town homes that have been converted? Apartment complexes that have been built in the last 10 years are wired to hell and back. People just dont know it. They have been using 5 to 6 pair lines for telephone wall jacks for a very long time. the roping and cable conduits are all in a main conduit that dosent seperate untill it reaches the actual unit. and the newer access boxes being used by verizon and other company have enough room to expand fiber into. and now a huge percentage of complexs being built have fiber prelaid between buildings and complexs.
Verizon/Contractors is not dumb, they have been and will continue to wire new complexs with fiber and copper.
It would be very easy for verizon to deploy fios to a new apartment complex. |
