Re: Why Is Verizon Wasting Time With Unfriendly Governments? said by Kearnstd:Verizon should deploy FiOS and then do a suprise IPTV turn on with or without franchise agreements once the network is in place. and call the IPTV a Data service and not a cable TV service. That is exactly what AT&T is doing. And then daring the local community to go into court where AT&T are sure they will win.

If the video deployment is a hit, can you imagine local politicians trying to pull the product from happy voters? |

| Make more sense to get (TV) franchise license, before install? Just a thought.
Wouldn't it put more pressure on (local) governments if Verizon didn't begin the months long process of installing fiber *UNTIL* they had whatever (TV) franchise required, in hand?
Such pressure only likely to be a bit more than noticable?
Essentially pointless?
Internet / Phone only ain't "never" gonna' pay to install FiOS into an entire town, without the vital TV segment? |
