Re: I can see both sides here... So then does that make FiOS and U-verse cable companies? They offer TV service over IP. Comcast offers Phone using IP. Why doesn't U-Verse have to go to each city? They claim they're not a cable TV service but yet they offer cable tv. it works over a coax in the home. hmmmm.. sounds like a cable company to me.
Also if you talk to Comcast actually to someone that knows what they're doing they will tell you that the DV actually does NOT touch the Internet. It stays off the Internet and stays on its private network. The Internet is not a private network. Thus why it does not count toward anything on the network. |

Secondly, FiOS TV is not an IP based service. In fact the equipment and protocols are virtually identical to HFC cable. Think of it as an 860MHz cable system with the fiber node in your house. |
