Re: Isn't Fibre better for longer distances ? They COULD, in theory, do that. However, the logistics involved in trenching and laying the fiber, and the sheer amount of new equipment required, makes it financially not feasible for deployment in sparsely populated rural areas. (IE the ROI just doesn't justify deployment in said areas for VZ).
By at least FTTN, it may be a stepping stone for future FTTH, although it'll be more expensive/complicated in the end, as big V will be locked into an active fiber network in rural areas, instead of the cheaply-maintained PON (passive network) that they're deploying today. |
