Re: Once Again - Corporation Holds Us Back

When you have a company that says "We will give you service on our terms with our rules, or forget it" it would be hard to work with them if you are representing the people who want the service.
Sounds like they need to open up the bidding process for other's who can do it just as well ... it's a global marketplace you know.
It would be better to have none, for now, than something that doesn't meet their needs. Especially since they abandoned northeast coast already ...
15 year contract is way too long to lock into any technology because 5 years from now, things will change.
This isn't about deployment, its about FiOSTV. I'm already a FiOS customer in NYC. The only contract that needs to get done is the TV franchise contract. The politicians are doing what they do best - "acting" in their own interests. Since Verizon has been deploying slowly there are lots of politicians whose constituents are getting impatient. Also, many of the politicians represent low income areas that will see low-penetration of FiOS customers and those politicians have no reason NOT to make a big fuss while making a name for themselves on the city council stage. It all makes for a difficult arena for Verizon to get its business done, and the reason why the Bloomberg administration - no strangers to high-level-corporate-negotiations tried to get the deal fast-tracked before the circus comes to town.
