Re: Comcast is scared.... Sorry Rick you have bad info. "First..if you allow another company to simply cherry pick the highest ROI customers..you create an imbalance that saddles Comcast with the rest. Who gets to pay for that in the form of higher prices? All the rest."
Uh, no. Verizon and city council have already agreed to a plan that would spread the deployment out in the initial phase to prevent ROI redlining. The agreement would have made at least two thirds of the initial areas to be offered FIOS in poorer neighborhoods. With the entire city to be wired in I believe seven years.
Your second point makes even less sense because Verizon will have to charge what the market will bear. That is the advantage of competition being good for the consumer.
I canceled my Comcast video because of poor customer service and defective equipment. Competition will make them better off. |
