"Verizon Aims For 6-7 Million FiOS Users By 2010", then "they've passed 9.3 million homes and businesses in parts of 17 states with their FiOS FTTH service".
Looks like they already met their goal unless the article meant to say new users.

By passed they mean it is available to 9.3 million homes or businesses. That is a 17% penetration rate. They need to do a whole lot better that that. |

"passed" generally refers to homes able to get the service, not homes that subscribe.... |

said by article :
3 million premises annually through 2010,
3 million per year times 3 years = 9 million plus 9.3 million = 18 million. |

That is why you see companies use flat numbers instead of percentages in cases like this. 9 million looks a lot better than 17% . |

»Re: haha they have 33 million landline homes and businesses, 9 million passed. 1/(33/9)*100 is 28%. So 28% of Verizon landline customers have FIOS. Its more than a quarter.
If they promise 18 million by 2010, thats 55% of Verizon landline will have fios. (1/(33/18))*100=54.5454545 That is over half. |
