| I also wonder what it costs to deploy such fiber networks? Doing so would certainly have to have some sort of justification. Do they just target the areas that have a high percentage of broadband users or a high area of competition? |

"Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun counties, as well as the communities of Falls Church, Leesburg and Herndon in Virginia"
It depends, incomes in these areas are all over the place. I have Verizon DSL in Fairfax County up until the last upgrade past me by. 768/128 just wasn't cutting it anymore so I went to Cox. Now if Verizon will roll out FIOS I may consider switching back. |

Way above the national average. They appear to be all of the wealthy suberbs of the big metro cities on first glance.
Major cities like NYC appear to not be on that list.
There are many new areas coming online that will be in the next phase as per the jobs that Verizon is hiring for. However it likely will be months away from now till they actually deploy.
I see hirings in Queens in Hollis and College Point. Also hirings in New York city, however those say it can be either Brooklyn, Staten Island or Manhattan. The hiring locations are from the Central Office. In some areas, a CO can serve multiple towns. Also tons of hiring for areas around the country as well.
Hopefully my town in queens will come online by year end 2005. |

From my understanding of the info I got it depends on the areas adoption of technology to under served to income ratio. I guess it's a smart move on their part to pick up some income to spend.

it's not surprising nyc and major cities not on the list. to deploy to already existing run down buildings in a major metropolitan area would cost way to much. nyc is 24/7, it's hard to get clearance to close down a major street to lay fiber lines. geez they can't even shut down canal st to make repares. there more holes in that street than there are in swiss cheese. |

2 edits | RCN dug up the street when they deployed here. Also Verizon has scattered permits now for test pits pre deployment of conduit/fiber in the Queens area in NYC. The digging part isnt that big of an issue. Plenty of permits come online all the time for digging the streets here.
Verizon has their own conduit system so it needs very little digging in the ground. Maybe only for certain limited sections. Obviously its beneficial to lower how many times the road is dug out, but if the road needs to be dug for fiber, its done. Progress is not stopped. Im not sure of the specifics of canal street construction, however RCN for example didnt even have a conduit system and it built out all over roads in Queens and now it has a conduit system so it does not have to dig again. It was done and quickly too. We have Fiber to the building here with RCN. Just wish it was FIBER to the apartment cause I have bad RF issues and other related issues. |

Although not Verizon, my parent's house in Eagle, CO (Eagle Ranch - a new development) has fiber running to it. This is neither a terribly wealthy nor densely populated area.
Unfortunately, they only offer Internet access through it (512/512), as telephone and cable (CenturyTel) are separate and most likely copper.

I can only speak for Nassau county in New York. Income levels are all over the map. In some parts, it's like Bevery Hills. $15 million homes. In other parts of the county, sometimes only a few miles away, it's not nearly as affluent. (~$100,000 homes). |
