| Re: Regarding broadband penetration said by jjeffeory  :They should run fiber everywhere. We had the USF to help with the costs and where did the money go? Making money is great, but so is progress on all fronts. This is a utility like power or regular phone that should be available everywhere. Oh, and what is the USF for? And to think, many decades ago, they said the same thing bout running party lines (open wire) from arm to arm, pole to pole. They had to start somewhere and it's been a never ending battle. So, why do they not want to deploy fiber? Because there is more then one big boy on the block and if they have an all exclusive area (cherry picking), they don't want it.. VZ is still unable to see ANY reason to deploy FIOS in the Detroit metro area (much less rural area) because Comcast, WOW, TW, and AT&T have the market all but sowed up. That's why I don't use VZ for ANYTHING and will use PAY AS YOU GO before I'll ever use their crappy wireless service. They have a right to turn a profit and I have the right to not use their service(s)...  |
