| why only about verizon> Why would only verizon be happy about this? Last I checked cablevision still installs a lot of fiber. There lightpath division does alot of fiber installs.
This would help out the other cablecompanies also who would be running more fiber also. |

| Yep, for some reason people seem to forget that cable companies have been running fiber as long as telcos. I have a fiber node "termination" (laser to RF) on the pole in front of my house... 40 more feet and I am fiber to the home. |

Ah telco's have been running fiber since the late 60's early 70's when the attenuation was 30 to 40 dbm. the late 70's it went wide spread with sub 20 dbm and in 80 when Corning produced the first "sub 7" fiber link , telco exploded and started hauling fiber to every pop they could afford it.
Cable started using fiber in the 90's to bring the video signal to your home. I think 88 or 89 was the first case of fiber being used for cable. Then they started in the 90's rolling it heavily.
