Re: FTTH
Just because they "planned to do" upgrades doesn't mean they would have. Surprising from this site sine there is so much talk about cherry picking. In this economy, plans mean squat. Wasn't there a story just the other day about AT&T slowing down their U-Verse roll out.
The title was probably more to get the chickens clucking than anything else since Verizon is a regional provider and the stimulus is national. That's the whole point of a stimulus, to give companies the incentive to upgrade and/or expand. Given the number of people on this site who want their providers to upgrade service in their area, I don't see why this would be a negative. If cable companies upgrade their service , even better. Competition benefits the consumer. |
