Here we go again......Muni Fiber!

The FTTH Council said 2015, because they want to stir people up. Nothing will get done unless the Masses want it. Verizon is the only Telco that sees the need for FTTH, even some of you guys think of it as extra service and not a necessity. FTTH should be more like a utility, since it will handle everything digital into your home. The only thing I see as a future for Copper, is a path for back-up diversity.

So talk to your Communities and Cities, because nothing will get done unless you ask for it.

Why ask for something without a value proposition? Most people seem quite happy with 1.5 mb until spam infects their machines.

Until people are doing something other than email, uploading pictures to wally world and grandparents, and downloading pictures or cheap movies that they can eventually watch on their TV why upgrade? There is a reason DSL is pricing low... dial up at same price and less cost to the provider.

FTTH will be the end game methinks, til something better comes along. Wireless will be a contender if more wireless spectrum becomes available and is sold off to non incumbents.
