Re: Where's the comparison

Verizon has spent 20 Biilllion dollars (pinky raised to mouth) for less than 7 million homes past (not customers)...

They have plans to get to 18M homes past. That additional spending is incremental on top of 20B.

Lot-o-$$ from those stock holders.

Where exactly do you see this 20 B already spent? No where do I see already spent. 20B is for the entire rollout.

The difference is Verizon is spending their money wisely to invest long-term and in a future proof solution.

While at&t is IMHO wasting a lot of this money on a stop-gap measure that probably in the near future won't measure up to Cable and the likes of Verizon (and others) (If it even measures up now!) and in the end at&t will have to spend even more money to go back and finish the job.
