Re: Legal P2P will be fostered; illegal P2P will be punished Those numbers include building out to new markets and maintaining existing infrastructure. How much of it is for increasing capacity? It doesn't make sense for any big ISP to improve the "last mile" (where all of the notorious congestion is) unless a competitor is drawing away customers. |

kudos:2 | It seems to me that all of the well known ISPs are routinely announcing "last mile" improvements. Comcast is bringing DOCSIS 3, AT&T continues to extend fiber and deploy VDSL, Verizon continues the FiOS rollout, etc. What am I missing? |

To a special 1% of their customers who are rich and live in ideallic suburbs. FiOS is only available to 28% of Verizon landline customers as of 2007 Q4.
Comcast won't deploy DOCSIS 3 unless there is Uverse/FiOS competition in the market. |

Considering the VZ only started deploying FiOS in 2004, I'd suggest that upgrading 1/4 of their "last mile" infrastructure in merely three years is extremely good.said by patcat88:Comcast won't deploy DOCSIS 3 unless there is Uverse/FiOS competition in the market. What? What about the St Paul/Minneapolis deployment? What competition is there? Also, what about Comcast's announcement to deploy DOCSIS 3 to 100% of their footprint by mid-2010? |
