Re: We addressed this problem in 2001.

yes, our fiber circuit is supplied by at&t.

and, a correction - no, att or comcast do not serve the MAJORITY of our coverage area. att and comcast don't touch the Verizon territory where we're located.

not sure why dsl or cable are a better choice considering the contracts, poor technical support, and asynchronous limitations... but if you're looking for the cheapest service available they're great.

So anyone can get FTTP if they want it.

Re: We addressed this problem in 2001.

Anyone at a commercial location can get a number of options from ATT, such as opt-e-man, gigaMAN, etc.

Not the FTTP you're thinking of though. This is not residential FTTP etc.

Does the fiber pass places where people live? It makes cents and dollars to supply a service to people that can afford it. You have a fiber connection and you can resell that service. It makes cents for everybody.

Re: We addressed this problem in 2001.

that's not how it works.

fttp that's available to residential locations is provisioned
completely differently than a dedicated tariffed commercial circuit, that runs directly from CO to premise.

everything is different, from the mux'es to the physical/facilities/routing/etc.

it's like saying since there's copper by your house, you should be able to get T1's and T3's, just because the copper is there.

No, I am saying money talks B.S. walks. You have it, anybody that wants it can get it. The problem is they want a free lunch.
