Re: No demand for fiber to the home?!?!?!@!W#$ said by T1 Rocky:said by dynodb:Currently there's no great demand for FTTH- quite a few are still satisfied with 1.5M (or even less) DSL. There's no demand for fiber to the home???? How do you figure that? I couldn't disagree with you more. I said no great demand. BBR posters aren't representative of the market- for instance, Verizon is only getting 10% penetration the first year FIOS is introduced in an area, and 15% in areas it's been available for over a year.
When 85% of the people who can get it don't, I'd characterize that as less than great demand- especially given that they're deploying to more urban parts of the country where one would expect overall broadband usage to be higher. |
