If so, the current and NEW deployments should be published in their last press release for 2006. Hopefully 2007 will show renewed interest in deploying FIOS, not wireless... there were virtually NO new deployments for both November & December, 2006. Finish some of the black-holes left in your primary deployment communities FIRST, Pennsylvania can wait. Even if Verizon is redlining, fiber gets rolled out, not pulled back, ALL communities in the geographic regions will have to be deployed at some point. Cable companies should be happy they get to keep those customers for a few more years, while Verizon gets their competitive ducks in a row. Usually, Verizon is doing something RIGHT with deployments if it IRKS cable companies. TV rates are really ANTI-COMPETITIVE, if you really want cable-tv competitions, create a site in Russia called ALL_OF_CABLE_TV.COM streaming cable tv for $20 a month, all you can eat ppv, etc... Really, Verizon along with all telcos will have vastly similar rates, no ONE company will undercut the price THEY pay for services, so taunting gets NO-ONE NOWHERE. The real competition will lie in voip and internet access.

OK I'm not saying I would need the service tomorrow or something very bad is going to happen; I am currently satisfied with being a Comcast customer. Seems like every thing's VZ redlining mania these days! (»»Comcast Knocks Verizon for Cherry Picking) and on other sites of how VZ is first starting with wealthier communities. As far as having the State wait; I think VZ should be the ones owing $/discounts to PA taxpayers after ripping them off of billions of dollars to have the Commonwealth wired with DSL and FiOS by certain strict deadlines; thanks PAPUC! see( »»Did Verizon Scam Pennsylvania?) ; if nothing shows copy and paste link. (don't mind me just ranting) From the looks of it VZ doesn't seem to be doing that bad in addition to FiOS deployment costs (»»investor.verizon.com/news/view.a···wsID=784) Sure it may cost a lot of $ to deploy everywhere, but I remember reading here: »»Verizon to use new tech to slash costs that the costs for installment are going down. Also another recent article posted on BBR backing up decreased costs for VZ FiOS installs: »»Switching a Customer to Fios Saves Verizon $110/Year. Thanks for reading in; nothing personal just my opinion and a little free time! =) -- NOW Comcast 6M/384k October 9 2006! Adelphia 4M/384k Activated September 20 2006.

I am tired of the monopolistic beasts like adelphia and comcast. They have prices over the top and they don't get you all the programming available. Now they want to continue doing business the old way while other technologies are available. I have aced them alltogether.
