said by batterup:said by PDXPLT:FIOS is internet, big time internet for those that know what the internet is.
As far as Verizon is concerned, FIOS === TV. All other applications are minor, inconsequential blips.
Look, people pay up to $100 (or more) for TV to Comcast, if you include premium channels, PPV, VOD, etc. Compared to that, who cares about the piddling little amount the average Joe is willing to pay for internet acess? Talk to any Verizon exec; that what they'll tell you.
Really? So when I hear all of the talk about muni-broadband and broadband for the great unwashed stimulating technological groth it is all B.S.?
