Re: [OOL] FIOS who? said by s bassaw:The true hurdle belongs to Verizon-- they have to win over customers. As you pointed out, that is actually the second hurdle. Before doing that, they have to wire the area. There is still a large portion of customers served by CV and Verizon where CV is offering Phone/Broadband (including Boost)/TV and Verizon is offering just phone, or phone and DSL. They have a lot of work to do before they can offer FIOS to many customers, and even more to offer TV over their fiber.
I'm surprised at how slowly Verizon is rolling it FIOS, especially to apartment buildings. I think they are focusing on more profitable areas - where they can charge $199/mo for their premium internet service, instead of $60 or so that they can charge where OOL is available.
said by frindim:The point is that FTTP is the future, CVs fiber to the poll is outdated and cannot compete with fiber to the premises. I think the jury is still out on that one. So far, CV is competing and has multiples of the FIOS market share. We'll have to see what the future holds for coax technology. So far, it is holding it's own.
