I didn't think I would ever see the day! It'll definitely be interesting for TW.

Imagine it... a Cable Beehive, VRAD cabinet, and coils of glass all in your easement! I can see the lawsuit now
TW will be fine. It's got bandwidth to compete. ATT, however, will be crapping bricks.

Of course, Plano and Frisco are among the most wealthy (and fastest growing) areas in the United States, so whoever can dominate there is guaranteed to make big bucks.

MUCH RESPEK, VZ!

Re: Telco overbuilding....

Keller TX (Dallas) was the initial FiOS site -- and was divided with AT&T across it's southern half.

Deregulation passed in 2005 -- allowing anyone to build-out anywhere (no more exclusive areas). It worked. Too bad I sold my house in the AT&T half of Keller. Now I could get FiOS.

Even Charter Cable rolled-out it's 16mbs tier in Keller -- due to FiOS. Deregulation works.
