| no excuse Then why did they originally put phone lines if they couldnt deploy video over them ?
Verizon is a phone company. They would still use the fiber for the phone service and data service.
They are using the franchise agreements as an excuse so they dont have to wire everything . |

Issue is that Comcast and the rest of the CableCos are getting a pass on phone regulation. Comcast is deploying phone w/o the regulation that phone companies are facing. |

Minneapolis, MN | said by TheGhost:Issue is that Comcast and the rest of the CableCos are getting a pass on phone regulation. Comcast is deploying phone w/o the regulation that phone companies are facing. But they are deploying them to everyone they serve, not a select few upscale customers, which is what the ILECs wants to do with their fiber deployments.
Besides, Comcast or the other cable co. didn't built their networks backed by billions upon billions of government tax subsidies, guaranteed profits and monopoly status. That's were most of the regulation comes from.
