Re: Japan is small, that's why..... FiOS isn't available nationwide
/lives in the 2nd largest city with pewVerse and TWC //they don't compete here (no VoIP even on Uverse) ///got the $89/month VoIP/HSI/Digital tv for a year on TWC ////UVerse offering +$200 rebates (have to... no VoIP makes Uverse REALLY expensive for triple play)
Many of these physically smaller countries have a certain amount of regulation on the infrastructure that doesn't exist here. Corporations will build where they can either maximize profit or have an interest (i.e. business case, political influence).
Eg. AT&T deploys VoIP at $40/month, except Detroit is $20/month  Los Angeles area has had Uverse for +1 year, yet will not have VoIP because AT&T can make more off of POTS $40=~$53/month after taxes. -- Canada = Hollywood North |
