A more interesting point is where Verizon and AT&T claimed FTTH was too expensive waiting a few years announcing that prices came down (Verizon) while AT&T claims it's a mistake. Clearly prices have been just fine and considering how everything is made over in that area of the world it makes me wonder who's telling the truth nowdays when it comes to expenses of upgrading their systems. Japan has been dealing with coming out of a recession for years while our economy has been on fire until recently. I guess is we did not have a child running the FTC and had someone who's balls have dropped things might be different.

Meanwhile tens of millions get multi-megabit service from cable competitors. Seems a bit silly when people are crying crisis from their fiber and cable connections.

Japan: 10.52 Million FTTH Customers > Population density is good for deployment.
