Waterbury, CT | 126,000 customers.... After all this time.
All that's left is the obituary to be written. |

| AT&T had 3k U-verse customers Jan/07 and 126K by the end of 3Q07 (9/30/07). AT&T staed they are installing 10k+ per week so that would put them at ~220K U-verse subscribers right now. That is a faster take rate them FiOS TV over the comparable time period from services launch. After 2 1/2 years FiOS is still short of 1M video subscribers. |

You really think u-verse is going to be able to steamroll all throughout the midwest and Bell South municipalities (so-called 30 million subscriber reach) without negotiating franchise agreements along the way?
Half the problem is franchise rights, the other half is that the product SUCKS. Even FIOS-TV sucks and Verizon knows it.. (they're even trying to give away a cheap 19" hidef tv for people to sign-up). The telcos will NOT do very well with providing tv service even if it were delivered over a 100 gigabit fiber bonded network with each stream dedicated on-demand.
Telcos don't realize that the cable industry have run the cable product into the ground SO BAD that it really wasn't worth the investment JUST TO RESELL THE SAME GARBAGE, YOU DUMBASSES!!! Telcos NEED EXCLUSIVE GOOD CONTENT consumers will WANT. Isn't that what wooed the masses from just having regular TV antennas on their home to pick up broadcast networks? Spend a few dollars on municipal public access channels you cheap ####s.. that' the bare a##ed minimum you can do. |
