Re: FTTH
money that goes to ANY of the large, incumbent providers will be wasted.
maybe not totally wasted, depends on what the penalties will be for noncompliance with requirements - if there are any.

Mr. Hodulik, however, said that the tax credits might well encourage the company to accelerate its plans and run FiOS past more homes over the next two years.
what if the credits don't encourage them? money WASTED

quote:
The current economic slowdown is beginning to hurt telecom equipment makers, and their prospects aren’t likely to change much in 2009, as indicated by the spending plans outlined by some of the major service providers.
For instance, AT&T said that it will cut its capex spend by 10-15 percent, or about $3 billion, and moderate its U-verse expansion plans. Verizon hasn’t been quite as blunt about its plans, but analysts expect the company to tighten its belt as well, and its suppliers are already starting to feel the hurt.
doesn't sound like providers are planning to accelerate anything except maybe layoffs. |
