Re: Nine years quote:
Nine years will be nine years too late. By then cable will be ahead and them in DC and in NY and VZW won't even be able to stop them.
That is 9 yeas for a total rollout, not before they start selling/seeing ROI in that area. Verizon Wireless does not come into play when competing against the CableCos. Since you have no concept on how the Telcos are structured and where their profit streams come form let's break it down.
1] Verizon Wireless and AT&T Wireless have approx 160 million subscribers--that is about 50% of the total US population. Please tell what CableCo can compete with that. Furthermore, a majority of of revenues for both of these companies is derived from their wireless divisions.
2] Government contracts, Enterprise Business, Large Business, Circuits and etc. This is the RBOCs second largest stream of revenue. Once again the CableCos have made little if any inroads into this market.
3] Small Business and Residental--This is the only market where the Cable Cos are winning customers over the traditional Telecos. However, the offering of FIOS and U-Verse TV packages are meant to take the battle to the Cable Cos. 1.6 million TV subs out of 8 million homes passed equates to 22% market share in just a couple of years. That is what will give the Cable Cos the most trouble, in addition to the Quad play bundles these 2 companies can offer.
quote:
But you claim the same thing everyone else on here does. Everyone will move to FiOS in your area because nobody is happy with the cable company. Well let me tell you. You're full of shit! It's only being made available NOW because VZ is tired of sharing their lines for DSL.
See point 3 above and educate yourself on what is happening in the Telecom world and why.

You're another one of those assholes on here that treats VZ and their FiOS as God. Get over it. It's nothing special. And if it was VZ would have had it out YEARS AGO back instead of sitting around waiting for cable to take their damn customers with Digital Phone like cable will still due.
If you were not an uneducated troll you might have some understanding of the industry and how it works. Ignorance must be bliss. |

·WOW Internet and..
| I'm uneducated like you are a VZ/ATT troll.
You need to educate your self on CableCos and what they actually do.
Epsecially in Ohio.
VZ is shit! And your stats? back them up besides some Telco magazine or the "news on here". BusinessWeek doesn't count either.
And the 9years it takes VZ to out build Cox will be already ahead of them. thats IF VZ builds fully out like they say they will.
We all know how well they follow the contract. Or do we have to ask PA residents about that one. |

| Please do tell me what major contracts the cable cos have in OH other than small businesses or residental. That is the only area of the market that the cable cos are currently winning. What cable co has the same wireless offerings as AT&T or Verizon? Same coverage maps? Please enlighten me as to what government contracts the cable cos have won from the RBOCs. Please tell me what major company {ie Wallmart, EJ Lilly, Toyota, Ford, and ad nauseum] that gets their circuits/telco needs provided by a cable co.
As to being a shill for AT&T or Verizon I think you need to search my posts as I equally bash Telcos and Cable Cos for their failings. There are plenty of people on this site with much more knowledge than I can hope to have about the industry, but as it is my chosen profession I take the time to read on the industry and its trends as my job depends upon it.
Admittedly cable has been making great inroads into the phone business, but it took several years for the base to develop. Given the same amount of time it will be interesting to see how much of the video business the telcos will gain. You will have to do your own research on the revenue streams. The primary divisions of Verizon are Verizon Wireless, Verizon Business, and Verizon Telecom. Look at the quarterly reports and you will see how much more revenue is generated by the wireless and business divisons versus the telecom divison. |
