Re: Why bother There is no evidence of Verizon red-lining in it's current deployment of fttp.
As for the PA thing and those saying BA/Verizon "took the money" and ran-- it is a bunch of mis-truths and a distortion of the facts. |

You're obviously not very familiar with what Chap 30 required BA to do and in 2002, the PA PUC had an opinion differing from yours...
said by PA PUC :
...this Commission has a legal obligation to reject Verizon PA’s 2000 Update and require it to submit a new update specifying its plans to satisfy its legal obligation to provide a modernized network with broadband capability of at least 45 Mbps upstream and downstream, to be available within five days from the customer request date.
That update that was required of Verizon was never done and finally the PA PUC let them off the hook for Chap 30 while VZ got to keep all the money.
As to how much money all means, I would welcome your attempt to refute the testimony of industry expert Dr. Lee Selwyn who lays out the goodie numbers in great detail.

The fact is, in the mid 90's BA laid out plans for FTTH. To facilitate this, the PUC deregulated and gave other perks that netted BA BILLIONS of dollars. BA then abandoned those plans, opting to follow the DSL path instead.
And when it finally came time for Verizon to deploy fiber, they slapped PA in the face and deployed first in Texas. BA/VZ didn't meet any of the Chap 30 requirements. |

The chart shows the richest areas like Manhattan see full deployment right away, while other 'hoods are left to see deployment later (if ever as we saw in the case of PA). |

Mount Vernon, NY | 100% of single family homes in Manhattan? That's probably about 100. Not a big deal.
Staten Island would be done first. |
