Foolishness!

If anyone thought this was going to be an overnight process, that was sheer foolishness. For them (telcos) to be competitive, they need this type of upgrade. Copper is an old and quickly becoming an obsolescent technology. This has to be looked at from a long term point of view. This change will breed competition amongst the various providers (cable & telcos) and will be good for everyone!

It is foolish. I heard VZ is having huge revenue growth in Texas from FiOS (where they started and have the most deployed)....

I can believe this. They turned my approx. 100 home neighborhood on last month. I have internet now, and TV on order. Judging from all the new FIOS trenches to the sides of people's homes and new ONT's, I'd say the take rate in my neighborhood may be near 30% or more. That's pretty good. As a side effect, TW cable(who took over from Comcast officially in early Nov.) is now getting competitive with both speeds and prices.
