Re: AT&T consistently behind the curve.

What about FiOS?

AT&T is behind and I'm just repeating what all the news outlets online have been saying from just a few years ago to right now.

I guess you consider right now to be year and a half ago as the article is dated 03/06. None the less one can view progress from the front lines or read about it from someone who sits behind a keyboard and really has no idea of what is happening in telecommunications. Myself I will always put more credence to what I hear from the troop’s on the front lines vs. rumor and gossip from a continuously less than accurate media.

BTW FiOS is a product of Verizon Communications not at&t.

Duh and Doh, Verizon's FiOS blows away anything AT&T offers hence the reference to it. AT&T is way behind. You also want today's news and need me to point out where you can read it? That's funny.

Yes if you can get and are on the right side of the of the thin red line which if you are not Verizon is in the process of trying to dump you off as a subscriber to another smaller telco in which case your broadband future may be quite limited if at all.

And of course Wall Street loves the plan as it supports profit over service. Verizon if they get what they want will be able to cherry pick the most profitable areas for rollout and screw the rest of ya.

At least at&t is deploying a system that will scale to a level that allows more subscribers to be served and still remain profitable. While FTTC may not be able to “meet” the bandwidth numbers of FTTP it will profitably serve a greater number of subscribers in the long run which for the subscriber is a better deal then the limited coverage of FTTP.

It may not be the darling of Wall Street but in the end at&t will retain more subscribers and if is successful in acquiring Dish will be able to make a quad-play in a manner that will make Verizon’s business plan look pale and place the triple-play CATV providers behind the 8 ball for the foreseeable future.

I am also dumbfounded that a person of your intelligence cannot grasp the demographic contrasts of Verizon’s turf as far as density and at&t’s as it makes a world of difference as to the proper technology to deploy system-wide.
