| You have to love capitalism. Fiber to the home in rural areas is profitable, just not profitable enough. The government clearly needs to step in and require a fiber optic upgrade of phone networks. I bet that will allow verizon to be happy with the profits. |

| No... the gov't should roll out fiber, then turn it over to the ILEC, but under strict, ENFORCED conditions that require equal sharing of the last mile resources with CLEC's, and give the ILEC a slap in the face should they try to screw around with CLEC customer orders. |

| No point, the government would just contract the work out to the phone companies since they have all the resources. It would be best just to tell the companies to make fiber to the home. And it has to be fiber to the home because fiber to the node make it difficult for competition to lease the lines. |
