Re: Don't think this dog will hunt...
I know what fiber is.. it's the line.. I'm referring to the product and the difference of Fiber/Copper.. ok?
.. if it's tariffed, that's fine, but it's still void of certain regulation. Are they still a common carrier? Are you able to get, say, Earthlink broadband over the fiber line?
.. no.. the Fiber is not under the same rules as copper.

It's my understanding that the Fiber product is exempt from certain regulatory rules... |

said by fiberguy  :Not that fiber isn't a better product, not all customers are going to want a product that isn't network powered OR where they are under protection of a regulatory body for such an important life line service. What  I thought everyone "needed" FTTH....said by fiberguy :if the government (PUC) puts their foot down and forces the same regulation on the FiOS product as they do the copper service. Is Verizon voice via FiOS not regulated?said by fiberguy :Last time I checked, the Incumbent provider was supposed to wire every home in it's service area... And they still do. I don't believe that requirement has changed. |
