Re: Didnt cable companies... Correct.. it does matter on the agreement. MOST of them had no-compete agreements (ala exclusive) with the franchise IN EXCHANGE for putting up the risk. (money/investment - something that people here don't care about)
On another note, fiber to the home IS NOT the holy grain people think it is. I have fiber in my home in two places.. in my own network and then in my entertainment system. ANYONE that has a brain in their head knows that fiber is only as good as the equipment running it AND (most importantly) HOW the PEOPLE in control utilize it. ie: video services, internet speeds and capabilities, and phone services/features.
With out the above, the fiber is nothing more than just a pipe line with potential.
.. in the end, I don't think I've yet seen any minu do it right.. most of them, over time, have ALWAYS done the bare minimum to make a service work.. crappy guides, improperly inserted ads, where they exist, (making TV less enjoyable) horrible audio levels, near non-existent customer service, stiff rules (that make current providers look like saints).. all of which we already have now.
My point.. fiber is only as good as those running it. |
