Re: Rural America, actual talk about upgrading its services I'll believe it when I see it. As far as I can see, Verizon has little interest in deployment of broadband to rural neighborhoods where they don't face competition from an MSO.
Our neighborhood already has "fiber to the node": the neighborhood is served by a fiber run from the CO, that serves the Remote cabinet that drives the copper loops. VZ could easily support DSL from it, according to VZ techs I've talked to (in fact, the same cabinet design is used in much of the ex-GTE territory). But Verizon has decided they won't (also from the same VZ techs). |
