| The voip industry welcome Verizon to the party. Although Verizon started out by trying to wipe 3rd party voip providers from the map, they've since changed course because the cable companies have become the alternative to the drying up well of 3rd party providers. Comcast and Cablevision eat up a nice chunk of Verizon's former copper customer base. Since Verizon knows those customers aren't coming back, they figure it's better to learn from the motto... if you can't beat 'em (with copper), then join 'em... (VOIP). So, the voip industry welcomes Verizon's alleged serious attempt at voip (not that crap they've previously had), now porting into the ONT's VOICE where POTS copper porting once existed causing your bill never to be the same price per month due to copper's tariff nightmere.. and fcc honeypot of fees. It is also sad to say, that your local states will no longer see revenue from these lost copper lines.. and only the fed charges a miniscule fee to voip.. it will be interesting of this remains intact, now that Verizon is jumping the copper ship titanic for more proffitable seas.
One good thing does come of this.. now Verizon can compete head-to-head with Comcast & Cablevision offering a similar triple play of services. One will now have a better measure of seeing which is the better value without the whole VOIP vs POTS/copper porting debate-- Verizon was at a significnat price disadvantage due to their legacy fees. Now it will be numbers of HD channels, Fastest-most reliable internet and more importantly these days, bottom line $ Price $. Though Comcast may begin to rethink this whole 250gb cap thing in about a few years time when VZ starts sniping customers away from Capcast.. |
