Re: Legal P2P will be fostered; illegal P2P will be punished 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? |
