Re: AT&T consistently behind the curve. said by Doctor Olds:Duh and Doh, Verizon's FiOS blows away anything AT&T offers hence the reference to it. 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.
