1 edit | said by socrplyr:Actually on the FiOS TV side, they would probably like the delay. They are still deploying the service in many areas and they would most likely get more customers by having it deployed in more places than by any advantage they would by having it pulled tomorrow. For the most part those who are going to be prepared are and those who aren't aren't. Obviously this is just my opinion. From the information that I have read, FiOS TV is available at just over 8 millions homes, while there are less than 2 million total FiOS TV subscribers. This is a lot of potential customers that are currently using some other TV service or OTA where FiOS TV is already available. Add to the fact that Verizon plans to reach 18 million homes by the end of this year, and there are millions of potential customers.
Some of the owners of these millions of homes will be shopping for TV service as a result of the analog-to-digital transition. Verizon offers very competitive prices and features and could only benefit, if even just a little, from keeping the current transition date in effect. |
