Re: Light speed in Utah now???? I am not defending Qwest per se ... and I would DIE to get rid of my 40ms first hop....
I am defending capital markets. Qwest doesn't have the deepest pocket's and also has the sparsest geography of any large telco. »www.time.com/time/covers/2006103···we_live/
I'd love to hear how you would run it differently.. $9B on FIoS? nope. FTTH in any large non-cherry picked deployment? Nope. What you would do is get the best speeds to as many people given your balance sheet. There's no government money to waste... voters can change that if they want - but seem to have been very happy with corporations so far.
Utopia is barely afloat(as are most of the country's muni wifi services)... and from the latest news here on it Xmission is a reseller of it and pissed at Qwest for delaying? That and they won't let you resell FTTN now.. that is why I take what you say with a grain of salt.
I believe you'd be 100% behind Qwest if you could resell FTTN.
"Qwest Brings a Knife To a Utah Gun Fight":
"The suit resulted a costly eighteen month delay in deployment of the wholesale service, which, through resellers like XMission, MStar and even AT&T, offers state residents symmetrical fiber connections for a fraction of the cost of slower Qwest service."
