Re: The thrill is gone

FTTH/FTTP seemed urgent in the days of 1-3mbs broadband. Our imaginations were much bigger than the "pipe".

Verizon's FiOS rollout has erased the sexy-ness of FTTP. FiOS as currently implemented is really just a "better" cable network -- with vast untapped potential. Only when popular new features and services are introduced will FTTP become urgent once again.

Palo Alto should notice how few vendors want to do business with them -- and why?
FIOS *could* be nice if they weren't sooooooo stingy with the upload oh yeah, and dump that PPPoE crap.
PPP was ok for telephone modems but c'mon that was 20 years ago!
