Re: Research Triangle Park
This is Cherry Picking because there are plenty of legacy Verizon areas that have NO access to broadband, and plenty more that have low-speed DSL as the only option, yet Verizon is picking these areas that already have Cable & VDSL options to spend their FiOS budget, because they feel that is where they make money, not further serving more customers with more broadband.
If that is not cherry picking to you, then cherry picking is different things to different people.
And I was not picking on you individually. Every time a story shows up here at dslreports about a new State Video Franchise, it is demonized as being a free pass for big Telcos to cherry pick. I can do some research and post some direct links if necessary. I'm calling BS, and calling out cherry picking in this instance, and the fact that it is being both defended & encouraged | |

| You live in a liberal world where everything including broadband should be included in your property taxes. VZ is spending billions of dollars on FiOS, and if they want to take on AT@T instead of deploying DSL to rural areas fine. VZ is not in the business to please every Tom, Dick and Harry,(It's their/shareholders money, no obligation to you or anyone else). As for redlining, here in Pittsburgh there is no redlining, strange as it may seem some of the worst areas have Fios available. In PA, VZ has gone to every municipality, where they offer service, to get a LFA(Local Franchise Agreement). So, if there's any redlining, blame the local government. | |
