Re: In Verizon's best interest to get customers migrated..

No, it wouldn't. Even if you lost half of your customers and the other half switch to a service that's almost 3x the price, you're already making more money than with all of them at $15. Given the cost of any other alternative would be even more than the cheapest FIOS offering, you would probably be able to keep more than half of them, so now they are really getting a return on their investment. A quick run of the numbers shows that you would only need to switch 37.5% from $15/month to $40/month to break even. And once it became public that they were offering a $15 FIOS plan, more people would demand it and get it. Sorry, the numbers just don't play out into their favor that way. Look how long it took for low cost DSL plans. Almost at the end of it's life when it was starting to be replaced. It won't happen for any reason.
