| quit your moaning, i'm betting it'll get deployed in areas where there is high demand for it (by high demand, i mean NOT one person moaning away like a little child begging FIOS). same thing goes for deploying FIOS on a grander scale. Why deploy FIOS in an area that is going to be cost even more (compared to other areas in general) when building the infrastructure is costly enough? believe or not, but Verizon is a public company that needs to make a profit to stay in business. if verizon goes (or nears) bankrupt, i doubt fiber deployment is going to be the last thing that goes. |

FIOS is currently available in many areas of Queens and the Bronx, both of which (generally) are lower income than Manhattan. They will likely roll the services out in Manhattan based on ease of deployment and cost per (potential) subscriber as the main driver. Even if they did "cherry pick", so what? The MDU rollouts are based on new, expensive technology (bendable fiber, VDSL2 extension, etc) and initially they want to make sure it works well before rolling it out to everyone. Clearly they will pick the first batch of buildings based on some criteria (whatever it may be), and they have every right to do so.

LOL yup exactly. Verizon is just being stupid. Profit my ass. If that were the case, Cablevision, Time Warner and RCN would cherry pick too. Verizon is stupid. If they really want to put a dent on TWC and Cablevision, they have to deploy all areas NOT cherry pick the ones where they think they're gonna make the most profit.
Lot of those people in this upper scale neighborhoods dont even have Cable or a DBS Satellite! They're old farts still using a big a$$ C-band dish and they dont give a flying f*ck about Fios, Cable and DBS Satellite. They love their uncompressed, c-band signal. |
