| fttp for video only to start. Make no mistake about the press release; AT&T's move is only a tactical decision based upon optimistic view of getting cable-tv customers away from the competition, nothing more. There is NO intention to create a FTTP network as robust as the one built by big red (Verizon) or any municipality. One can't be surprised that once the bills started coming in for some builds, that AT&T was humping themselves with ATM & VDSL telco equipment vendors. When orders start rolling in for docis 3, and cable-cos start running HDTV 100+ channels, AT&T would be left in the dust. Comcast will protect itself in it's core subscriber base as necessary that's more than a sure bet. Anything less than full gpon FTTP would not compete. |
