Re: What Credibility?

said by gaforces See Profile :

Some people are content with 15th place for world broadband deployment. Others of which I am included, see that our future depends on it, and see that a few big companys are content with the status quo where they can still keep making billions with little effort.

Looking to thier shareholder profit at the detriment to the whole country, and getting away with it by bribes through a corrupt lobbying system where only the people with money have a say.
All the while, other countrys who are interested in leading technology in the future, without thinking of selfish short term money grubbing, are way ahead of us in tech with the ability to jump ahead in leaps faster than we can.
Leaving the US as bottom of the world barrel.
WTF do you want Verizon to do????? Verizon is a public company, they ARE going to want to turn a profit at the end of the quarter... What don't you get????? Verizon is not going to wire up the hood just so they can have their lines cut or their workers shot at.... And no one will want it or be able to afford it there anyway.... Someday, YES... But for now, it is expensive and Verizon is only going to deploy to places that they are guaranteed a good return.... And I've seen VZ deploying in lower income places here in NJ, so I think that the entire conspiracy theory is complete BS... I'd say they are avoiding deploying their heavily, but it's not avoided completely!

Bump out the 100/100 (ipv6 compatible) quick as they can, so that others will have to re-think thier deployments seriously.
Get USF priority re-allocated to deployment in rural areas, so its not such a burden on this poor company.

I'd say 30/5, 20/5 and 20/20 is a pretty good start. Don't forget that without Verizon FiOS, there would be NO competition in the broadband world... Cable VS DSL was not really "competition." FIOS is FORCING cable companies to rethink their strategies. You just can't offer 100/100... That would require a massive restructuring of the backbones. Right now, Verizon is handling FiOS bandwidth quite well and they're expanding bandwidth occasionally... I'd say within 5 years or less we'll be at 100/100. There is really no "need" for 100/100 right now outside of warez... I am a HEAVY user and I only need 20/5 to get most of my work done, 20/20 is overkill for me.
