The question here is what happens when FIOS comes out. Does the service stop working? Cause Covad requires 1 year committments generally.
Why would it stop when fios rolls out? because verizon might sabotage the copper in the area? Verizon will not maintain copper when fiber is in place. Copper plant is very expensive to maintain and a big reason Verizon is placing fiber.
There are Greenfield developments where no copper phone lines are placed, it is the future of the network. Say goodnight CLECs. |

| Greenfield has no COPPER that was installed so of course it will be fiber.
The question is in areas which have Fiber AND Copper where customers have their DEDICATED LOOPS.
But the dedicated loop legal requirements should indeed be available on the internet to verify.
Finally some real speed competition between 3 different competing pipelines and 3 different carriers.
Only question mark now is the entry of Verizon FIOS and for the future release of the 700mhz spectrum which could also be used by ISP's. |

Verizon has not been maintaining its Copper for several years. Preventitive maintainence went out the window with the BA/GTE merger due to "Budgetary Concerns". One of the results is that there are 5 former BA states that have not met Regulatory Body Targets for Out of Service Restoral Times for more than 2 years straight. |

The twisted pair pipe is provide by Verizon. Coax is provided by CATV.
The only service that is regulated is POST. Get real, do you really think Verizon will lease a conditioned data grade loop for a few dollars a month?
The Telephone act of 1996 mandates the Right-of-Way be open to any company that wants to deploy a network. Go for it Covad.
FiOS is exempt from common carrier status. If it wasn't it would not be built. Sorry no free lunch. |
