Re: USF causes this

My father in-law works for a rural telcom that you have never heard of in a county in nevada you have never heard of.

You don't get more rural than the telecom in question and they are confident that fiber makes sense. As someone else said, Wall street and their short sided vision of quarterly profits, not long term viability are the difficult sell. Any CEO worth his money will take the short 5 year hit to the stock to build out the fiber and realize the long term benefits of a fully fiber network.
Of course this is true.

I think Verizon is trying to placate some of the heavy-handed anti-FTTP crowd that's attacking them while at the same time placate the "cherry-picking" extremists who insist everyone must use the lowest common denominator. I hope they actually fail to achieve that threatened placation, though. It'd be better if they don't build anything at all, and leave it to some other rural provider that is willing to invest in it properly.
