Honestly, I'm not surprised at all. While I am paying 45/month for 5.0/384, many in Asia are paying the same for 100/100, or even greater. |

Yep, because you know you were shot in the head after posting that by some oppressive governmental order, all your property was taken, and your family was jailed.
And of course everyone hates us and have placed a huge embargo around all US territory.
And the smart get rich, the dumb are getting poorer. Its called money management.
Just because there isn't a demand here because people in the US don't care about insanely high speeds as a whole, does not mean we're behind badly. It means the market here is different than in other countries. 
These types of conversations amuse me to no end.

Wow, 3.3 million that's a lot! Unfortunately it's only an impressive figure if you're talking about the number of monkeys in your living room. Europe and Asia already have significant penetration of digital TV from sources other than IP. Way over 50% »www.theregister.co.uk/2004/07/23···l_homes/ This ain't news, it's a press release.

| Verizon is not IPTV
If you actually read the article it doesn't even mention Verizon. Verizon's FIOS is not 100% IPTV. The only thing IPTV about it is its VOD and its channel guide. Everything else is RF and QAM delivery just like every CATV company in the nation. I know they plan to be all IPTV someday, but the technology wasn't progressing fast enough for them to continue to delay the release. |

Re: Verizon is not IPTV
I saw that too. For whatever reason FIOS TV is repeatedly misreported here as IPTV. It's not and won't be for awhile. Verizon is poised to add and expand IPTV offerings but right now they don't even warrant a mention, so the article didn't... |

Re: Not surprised
Id love to move somewhere else, but this is where I am going to stay, even tho our gov sucks ass. This country isn't for the people, its for the rich. And "the smart get rich" BS. That's like maby 10%? The cheating fucking fagots gets rich and steal from poor people. Lets start counting how many scams and corporations have been known to steal money.
Their is no demand, because people aren't educated and don't know wtf they are missing.

Like the millions pouring over the border with Mexico every year. Good luck with them - excellent material for engineering, physics etc.
The reality is that low-educated mass that pours over the border is excellent to fix your plumbing, roads, pick your tomatoes, potatoes, mow your lawn etc and also good to keep the profit sky-high for industrial/agronomic sector's business owners but won't work as a middle class. They won't spend money on million things I do - I consider myself part of the middle-class - so the whole fabric of society will change.
Make no mistake: I welcome them but I want to rectify the crazy distortion in the economy and society that the rich enjoy now for ~2 decades or so and destroys the sustainable society and ecomony. |

I didn't mean it in a government sense, more like in a broadband sense. The US is a great country where our freedoms and rights are protected. But it wouldn't hurt to see higher broadband speeds, especially for us geeks.  |

This is funny, first you people demand The Phone Companies bribe every local politician to get a TV franchise, you demand The Phone Companies let M$ pump HDTV through their tubes for free. Then you bitch and moan when The Phone Companies can't build a network. There is no free lunch. |
